Privacy and security in information systems using programming language features

Abstract

This paper describes a specification and implementation scheme for providing an integrated approach to security and privacy rules and shows how they may be achieved with a formal specification language that permits the association of operations with logical conditions. The implementation of these rules is shown in the programming language PLAIN. In this way, the access and notification control that has typically been performed by operating systems, database management systems, and programming languages is brought together in an integrated programming environment.
