Integrated Database Security System Architectures based on WCF Services

Abstract

Database security is a set of mechanisms, rules, and procedures that can be used to ensure confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data to protect database from unintended activities. The main goal of this paper is to provide integrated database security system architectures based on Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) services using a set of effective database security policies. Applying WCF services to the system can enhance the performance between all clients and database server and this is considered as one of the major contributions in this paper. The diversity of security policies in this paper depends on controlling database administrators and users who may abuse their privileges to penetrate confidential data in the database server. The controlling process depends on applying WCF services to a set of novel algorithms to provide efficient, flexible, and harmonious secret sharing connections between database users, database administrators, and super administrator in order to prevent any hostile act.
