SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR FINE GRAINED ACCESS CONTROL OF DATA STORED IN RELATIONAL DATABASES

摘要

A system and method for facilitating secure access to database(s) is provided. The system relates to authorizing discriminatory access to relational database data. More particularly, the invention provides for an innovative technique of defining secured access to rows in relational database tables in a way that cannot be spoofed while preserving various optimization techniques. The invention affords a persistent scheme via providing for a security architecture whereby discriminatory access policies on persistent entities can be defined and enforced while preserving set based associative query capabilities.
