As the demand for data management increases- so does the need for maintaining security of databases- applications- and information systems. The advent of the Web increased the likelihood of unauthorized access and malicious corruption- bringing to the forefront the necessity for effective mechanisms that secure critical information.

Database and Applications Security: Integrating Information Security and Data Management reviews recent developments in security- with a special emphasis on the protection of databases. The author pays particular attention to securing emerging applications such as e-commerce- sensor information processing- and knowledge management.

The book begins by providing essential background in database security- followed by descriptions of discretionary access control- multilevel secure databases- and models- functions- prototypes- and products of multilevel secure relational systems. It then discusses facets of the inference problem and addresses secure distributed databases. Following an analysis of secure object systems- the book focuses on security aspects of data warehousing and data mining. It also covers threats to privacy due to data mining- and concludes with an exploration of emerging technologies.

This volume delivers a comprehensive overview of database and applications security for technical managers- technologists- and executives- as well as for those intending to pursue research in the field. It provides a high-level overview while discussing many technical details.
