Making databases secure with TRUDATA technology

Trusted database (TRUDATA) technology injects multilevel security (MLS) policy enforcement features and assurances into existing relational database management system (DBMS) products. TRUDATA technology consists of a data model, a security policy model, system architecture, and implementation approach which, together, define a trusted MLS DBMS. The result of applying TRUDATA technology to existing baseline products with suitable characteristics is a trusted DBMS targeted at the B1 and B2 evaluation classes of DOD5200.28-STD as interpreted for DBMSs. By combining a view-based security model and by altering slightly the relational DBMS products without abandoning existing applications investments, the first implementation substantiates the protection and performance capabilities of TRUDATA.<
