  1. Data and Applications Security Developments and Directions Dr. Bhavani Thuraisingham The University of Texas at Dallas Lecture #8 Inference Problem - II February 8, 2006

  2. Outline • Security Constraint Processing • Use of Conceptual Structures

  3. Security Constraint Processing • Security Constraints are rules that assign security levels to the data • MLS/DBMS is augmented with an Inference Engine • Inference Engine is the Inference Controller • Integrated Architecture for Security Constraint processing • Query, Update and Database design operations

  4. Inference Engine Approach

  5. Constraint Generation

  6. Query Processor

  7. Update Processor

  8. Database Design Tool

  9. Integrated Architecture

  10. Release Control Management

  11. Use of Conceptual Structures • Use conceptual structures to model the application • E.g., semantic data models, semantic nets, conceptual graphs, etc. • Use the reasoning strategy of the conceptual structure and determine if security violation via inference can occur

  12. Multilevel Semantic Nets

  26. Directions • Inference problem is still being investigated • Census bureau still working on statistical databases • Need to find real world examples in the Military world • Inference problem with respect to medial records • Much of the focus is now on the Privacy problem • Privacy problem can be regarded to be a special case of the inference problem
