A Security Model for Provenance
Uri Braun and Avi Shinnar.
- Abstract
-
Most security models are designed to protect data. Some also deal
with traditional metadata. Provenance metadata introduces
additional complexity, as does the delicate interactions between
provenance metadata and the data it describes.
We designed a security model for provenance metadata. Our requirements were derived from potential users. The security model consists of two non-interfering models. One protects the structure or work-flow — namely which ancestors and descendants are accessible to which users. A second model specifies which node attributes are accessible to which users. Our evaluation suggests that our security model meets the users' requirements. - Full Paper
