Publisher's Synopsis
The current state of research and practice in database security is explored in depth in this volume. The wide range of individual topics span from the semantics of multilevel database applications, security policies and models, the inference problem and multilevel database concurrency control. Security for medical information systems is discussed in specific isolation since it continues to be of particular interest in the field. It is hoped the book will prove to be a vital reference text for students, researchers, designers and developers involved in the disciplines of computer science, information engineering, database systems and computer security.
