Role-based access control for emerging applications
Security for emerging applications
- Geospatial, Biomedical, E-Commerce, etc.
Other Areas
- Trust and Economics, Trust Management/Negotiation, Secure
Peer-to-peer computing,
Data Integrity and Quality
Data Integrity maintains the accuracy of the data
- E.g., When multiple transactions access the data, the action of
one transaction cannot invalidate that of another
- Solutions: Locking mechanism
- Integrity also includes preventing unauthorized modifications
to the data
Data quality provides some measure for determining the accuracy
of the data
- Is the data current? Can we trust the source?
- Tools for data cleansing and handling incompleteness
- Data quality parameters can be passed from source tom source
E.g., Trust A 50% and Trust B 30%
Data quality can be specified as part of the annotation to the data
- Develop an annotation management system
Data Provenance
Keeping track of the entire history of the data
- Who created the data
- Who modified the data
- Who read the data
- Do we trust the data source?
- Do we trust the person who handled the data
- The organizations traveled by the data
Data annotations for data provenance
- What is the model?
- Design of the annotation management system
Using data analysis techniques, unauthorized modification and
access, Misuse detection activities can be carried out

Need to Know to Need to Share
Need to know policies during the cold war; even if the user has
access, does the user have a need to know?
Pose 9/11 the emphasis is on need to share
- User may not have access, but needs the data
Do we give the data to the user and then analyze the
consequences
Do we analyze the consequences and then determine the
actions to take
Do we simply not give the data to the user
What are risks involved?
CPT: Confidentiality, Privacy and Trust
Before I as a user of Organization A send data about me to
organization B, I read the privacy policies enforced by
organization B
- If I agree to the privacy policies of organization B, then I
will send data about me to organization B
- If I do not agree with the policies of organization B, then I
can negotiate with organization B
Even if the web site states that it will not share private
information with others, do I trust the web site
Note: while confidentiality is enforced by the organization,
privacy is determined by the user. Therefore for
confidentiality, the organization will determine whether a user
can have the data. If so, then the organization van further
determine whether the user can be trusted
RBAC
Access to information sources including structured and
unstructured data both within the organization and external to the
organization
Access based on roles
Hierarchy of roles: handling conflicts
Controlled dissemination and sharing of the data
UCON
RBAC model is incorporated into UCON and useful for
various applications
- Authorization component
Obligations
Obligations are actions required to be performed before
an access is permitted
- Obligations can be used to determine whether an
expensive knowledge search is required
Attribute Mutability
- Used to control the scope of the knowledge search
Condition
- Can be used for resource usage policies to be relaxed or
tightened
-
Dissemination Policies
Release policies will determine to whom to release the data
- What is the connection to access control
- Is access control sufficient
- Once the data is retrieved from the information source (e.g.,
database) should it be released to the user
Once the data is released, dissemination policies will determine who
the data can be given to
- Electronic music, etc.
Risk Based Data Sharing/Access Control
What are the risks involved in releasing/disseminating the data
Risk modeling should be integrated with the access control model
Simple method: assign risk values
Higher the risk, lower the sharing
What is the cost of releasing the data?
Cost/Risk/Security closely related
Trust Management
Trust Services
- Identify services, authorization services, reputation
services
Trust negotiation (TN)
Digital credentials, Disclosure policies
TN Requirements
- Language requirements
Semantics, constraints, policies
System requirements
Credential ownership, validity, alternative negotiation
strategies, privacy
Example TN systems
KeyNote and Trust-X (U of Milan), TrustBuilder (UIUC)

Credentials and Disclosure
Credentials can be expressed through the Security Assertion Mark-up
Language (SAML)
SAML allows a party to express security statements about a given subject
Authentication statements
Attribute statements
Authorization decision statements
Disclosure policies govern:
-
Access to protected resources
Access to sensitive information
Disclosure of sensitive credentials
Disclosure policies express trust requirements by means of credential
combinations that must be disclosed to obtain authorization
What is Privacy
Medical Community
- Privacy is about a patient determining what
patient/medical information the doctor should be released
about him/her
Financial community
- A bank customer determine what financial information the
bank should release about him/her
Government community
- FBI would collect information about US citizens. However
FBI determines what information about a US citizen it can
release to say the CIA
Data Mining as a Threat to Privacy
Data mining gives us “facts” that are not obvious to human analysts
of the data
Can general trends across individuals be determined without
revealing information about individuals?
Possible threats:
Combine collections of data and infer information that is private
Disease information from prescription data
Military Action from Pizza delivery to pentagon
Need to protect the associations and correlations between the data
that are sensitive or private
-
Some Privacy Problems and Potential Solutions
Problem: Privacy violations that result due to data mining
- Potential solution: Privacy-preserving data mining
Problem: Privacy violations that result due to the Inference problem
- Inference is the process of deducing sensitive information from
the legitimate responses received to user queries
- Potential solution: Privacy Constraint Processing
Problem: Privacy violations due to un-encrypted data
- Potential solution: Encryption at different levels
Problem: Privacy violation due to poor system design
- Potential solution: Develop methodology for designing privacyenhanced systems
Privacy Constraint Processing
Privacy constraints processing
- Based on prior research in security constraint processing
- Simple Constraint: an attribute of a document is private
- Content-based constraint: If document contains information
about X, then it is private
- Association-based Constraint: Two or more documents taken
together is private; individually each document is public
- Release constraint: After X is released Y becomes private
Augment a database system with a privacy controller for constraint
processing

Privacy Preserving Data Mining
Prevent useful results from mining
- Introduce “cover stories” to give “false” results
- Only make a sample of data available so that an adversary is
unable to come up with useful rules and predictive functions
Randomization
- Introduce random values into the data and/or results
- Challenge is to introduce random values without significantly
affecting the data mining results
- Give range of values for results instead of exact values
Secure Multi-party Computation
- Each party knows its own inputs; encryption techniques used to
compute final results
Platform for Privacy Preferences (P3P):
What is it?
P3P is an emerging industry standard that enables web sites
to express their privacy practices in a standard format
The format of the policies can be automatically retrieved and
understood by user agents
It is a product of W3C; World wide web consortium
www.w3c.org
When a user enters a web site, the privacy policies of the web
site is conveyed to the user; If the privacy policies are
different from user preferences, the user is notified; User can
then decide how to proceed
Several major corporations are working on P3P standards
including
Data Mining and Privacy: Friends or Foes?
They are neither friends nor foes
Need advances in both data mining and privacy
Need to design flexible systems
- For some applications one may have to focus entirely on
“pure” data mining while for some others there may be a
need for “privacy-preserving” data mining
- Need flexible data mining techniques that can adapt to the
changing environments
Technologists, legal specialists, social scientists, policy
makers and privacy advocates MUST work together
