Trust-based access control for XML databases

Trust-based access is an established technique in many fields, such as networks and distributed systems, but has not previously been used for XML (Extensible Markup Language) databases. In trust-based access control, user privileges are calculated dynamically depending on the user's trust value. Applying the technique to XML databases should have many advantages over current techniques, such as role-based access. This paper presents Trust-Based Access Control for XML Databases.
