Abstract:
Database security is the system, processes, and
procedures that protect a database from unintended
activity. Unintended activity can be categorized as
authenticated misuse, malicious attacks or
inadvertent mistakes made by authorized individuals
or processes. Database security can begin with the
process of creation and publishing of appropriate
security standards for the database environment. The
standards may include specific controls for the
various relevant database platforms; a set of best
practices that cross over the platforms; and linkages
of the standards to higher level polices and
regulations. Proposed system presents constraint
based security model implemented on student
database to enhance data security by combination of
Role Based Access Control (RBAC) and Mandatory
Access Control (MAC).
