Abstract:

The constructs of the object-oriented data model seem to be good candidates for the specifications of the need-to-know and multilevel security policies and their respective access control requirements. This report demonstrates such specifications. The implication of this demonstration may be profound, since for the first time multiple security policies and their respective access controls may be realized and supported in a single object-oriented database management system.
