Authentication hierarchy in distributed deductive databases
Dorel Săvulea, Nicolae Constantinescu · Annual Conference on Computers · 2010
Distributed deductive databases have become more and more popular in the past decade. Their importance is mainly due to their low costs and the high level of protecting data. For such a database there must be secured all the remote database fragments and the infrastructure in order to provide a high security level and to avoid an impersonation. We propose an algorithm for providing such a security level with less resources. The algorithm is based on authenticating the rules using digital signature.
