Teresa Lunt, recently of the Defense Advanced Projects Research Agency and now working at Xerox, will say some things in a video presentation about extending those ideas about database protection. Her work, in the past, has included a number of things on intrusion detection and security models for databases.

One of the inventive aspects of creating this kind of technology was to invent a rights language and to understand the different kinds of rights that matter. Depicted in Figure 5.

Another permission category includes venous kinds of file management rights. ~ will skip over those in the interest of time.

For example, an ordinary printer with 300 dots per inch can carry, ~ think, around 300 bytes clef information in a square inch with quite ordinary technology. So, you can carry a fair amount of data with little glyph patches.

A friend of mine characterized scientific publication as right only. This is based on the measurement that approximately 0.75 people read the average scientific article, including the reviewer.

You don't have the usual liability standards. Finally, the notion of digital certificates requires a public key infrastructure system that isn't available yet.

Database access controls could also be augmented to provide validity periods for rights. Access control lists or label names could be extended or replaced with lists of certificates, which could indicate identity or category of person or organization (e.g., academic, nonprofit, commercial, government, country)

For published statistics, such as databases given out on CD-ROM, more information must be removed or altered, because it is not possible to restrict in real time the kinds of queries that a user makes. For online databases, real-time controls can be used to prevent attacks involving the use of multiple overlapping queries to discover sensitive statistics.

In the social area, there is really no established socially sanctioned approach to risk management relative to loss of income or loss of things on digital works. What is different here, for example, from digital works and, let's say, paper-based publishing is that the person receiving the digital work could this, of course, depends on the market a little bit in principle, distribute things as easily and as cheaply as the publisher.

From page 120... ...
You are probably familiar with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, which imposes all kinds of restrictions on the circumvention of copy controls and access controls. Looking ahead five years to the kinds of technology that you anticipate will be in existence, to what extent will a lot of problems that people have been talking about, the inability to protect databases, be taken care of by technology plus the Digital Millennium Copyright Act's prohibition of certain technology?

That kind of a sweeping change in the way our personal computers work is going to take some cooperation between the major computer hardware and software manufacturers, and there hasn't been a big move in that direction yet. You also asked about protection measures and the recent law about reverse engineering or breaking into systems, circumventing methods for preventing tampering.
