Data and Applications Security Developments and Directions

1. Data and Applications Security Developments and Directions Dr. Bhavani Thuraisingham The University of Texas at Dallas Supporting Technologies

2. Objective of the Unit • This unit will provide an overview of the supporting technologies

3. Outline of Part I: Information Security • Operating Systems Security • Network Security • Designing and Evaluating Systems • Web Security • Other Security Technologies

4. Operating System Security • Access Control • Subjects are Processes and Objects are Files • Subjects have Read/Write Access to Objects • E.g., Process P1 has read acces to File F1 and write access to File F2 • Capabilities • Processes must presses certain Capabilities / Certificates to access certain files to execute certain programs • E.g., Process P1 must have capability C to read file F

5. Mandatory Security • Bell and La Padula Security Policy • Subjects have clearance levels, Objects have sensitivity levels; clearance and sensitivity levels are also called security levels • Unclassified < Confidential < Secret < TopSecret • Compartments are also possible • Compartments and Security levels form a partially ordered lattice • Security Properties • Simple Security Property: Subject has READ access to an object of the subject’s security level dominates that of the objects • Star (*) Property: Subject has WRITE access to an object if the subject’s security level is dominated by that of the objects\

6. Covert Channel Example • Trojan horse at a higher level covertly passes data to a Trojan horse at a lower level • Example: • File Lock/Unlock problem • Processes at Secret and Unclassified levels collude with one another • When the Secret process lock a file and the Unclassified process finds the file locked, a 1 bit is passed covertly • When the Secret process unlocks the file and the Unclassified process finds it unlocked, a 1 bit is passed covertly • Over time the bits could contain sensitive data

7. Network Security • Security across all network layers • E.g., Data Link, Transport, Session, Presentation, Application • Network protocol security • Ver5ification and validation of network protocols • Intrusion detection and prevention • Applying data mining techniques • Encryption and Cryptography • Access control and trust policies • Other Measures • Prevention from denial of service, Secure routing, - - -

8. Data Security: Access Control • Access Control policies were developed initially for file systems • E.g., Read/write policies for files • Access control in databases started with the work in System R and Ingres Projects • Access Control rules were defined for databases, relations, tuples, attributes and elements • SQL and QUEL languages were extended • GRANT and REVOKE Statements • Read access on EMP to User group A Where EMP.Salary < 30K and EMP.Dept <> Security • Query Modification: • Modify the query according to the access control rules • Retrieve all employee information where salary < 30K and Dept is not Security

9. Steps to Designing a Secure System • Requirements, Informal Policy and model • Formal security policy and model • Security architecture • Identify security critical components; these components must be trusted • Design of the system • Verification and Validation

10. Product Evaluation • Orange Book • Trusted Computer Systems Evaluation Criteria • Classes C1, C2, B1, B2, B3, A1 and beyond • C1 is the lowest level and A1 the highest level of assurance • Formal methods are needed for A1 systems • Interpretations of the Orange book for Networks (Trusted Network Interpretation) and Databases (Trusted Database Interpretation) • Several companion documents • Auditing, Inference and Aggregation, etc. • Many products are now evaluated using the federal Criteria

11. Security Threats to Web/E-commerce

12. Other Security Technologies • Middleware Security • Insider Threat Analysis • Risk Management • Trust and Economics • Biometrics • Secure Voting Machines • - - - - -

13. Outline of Part II: Data Management • Concepts in database systems • Types of database systems • Distributed Data Management • Heterogeneous database integration • Federated data management

14. An Example Database System Adapted from C. J. Date, Addison Wesley, 1990

15. Metadata • Metadata describes the data in the database • Example: Database D consists of a relation EMP with attributes SS#, Name, and Salary • Metadatabase stores the metadata • Could be physically stored with the database • Metadatabase may also store constraints and administrative information • Metadata is also referred to as the schema or data dictionary

16. Functional Architecture Data Management User Interface Manager Schema (Data Dictionary) Manager (metadata) Security/ Integrity Manager Query Manager Transaction Manager Storage Management File Manager Disk Manager

17. DBMS Design Issues • Query Processing • Optimization techniques • Transaction Management • Techniques for concurrency control and recovery • Metadata Management • Techniques for querying and updating the metadatabase • Security/Integrity Maintenance • Techniques for processing integrity constraints and enforcing access control rules • Storage management • Access methods and index strategies for efficient access to the database

18. Types of Database Systems • Relational Database Systems • Object Database Systems • Deductive Database Systems • Other • Real-time, Secure, Parallel, Scientific, Temporal, Wireless, Functional, Entity-Relationship, Sensor/Stream Database Systems, etc.

28. Outline of Part I: Information Management • Information Management Framework • Information Management Overview • Some Information Management Technologies • Knowledge Management

29. What is Information Management? • Information management essentially analyzes the data and makes sense out of the data • Several technologies have to work together for effective information management • Data Warehousing: Extracting relevant data and putting this data into a repository for analysis • Data Mining: Extracting information from the data previously unknown • Multimedia: managing different media including text, images, video and audio • Web: managing the databases and libraries on the web

30. Data Warehouse Data Warehouse: Data correlating Employees With Medical Benefits and Projects Users Query the Warehouse Could be any DBMS; Usually based on the relational data model Oracle DBMS for Employees Sybase DBMS for Projects Informix DBMS for Medical

31. Information Harvesting Knowledge Mining Data Mining Knowledge Discovery in Databases Data Dredging Data Archaeology Data Pattern Processing Database Mining Knowledge Extraction Siftware The process of discovering meaningful new correlations, patterns, and trends by sifting through large amounts of data, often previously unknown, using pattern recognition technologies and statistical and mathematical techniques (Thuraisingham 1998) Data Mining

33. Image Processing:Example: Change Detection: • Trained Neural Network to predict “new” pixel from “old” pixel • Neural Networks good for multidimensional continuous data • Multiple nets gives range of “expected values” • Identified pixels where actual value substantially outside range of expected values • Anomaly if three or more bands (of seven) out of range • Identified groups of anomalous pixels
