SecureDIS: A framework for secure Data Integration Systems

With the web witnessing an immense shift towards publishing data, integrating data from diverse sources that have heterogeneous security levels become even more challenging. There is a need to maintain security and privacy requirements of each data source participating in a data integration process before and during the integration. In Data Integration Systems (DIS) for critical domains, data needs to be dynamically collected from multiple sources to contain the problem and make faster decisions. Therefore, it is essential to consider Security, Privacy and Trust (SPT) in such a system. However, the literature lacks this comprehensive perspective; therefore, this paper presents a novel framework of SPT requirements that assist software engineers in building a secure DIS.
