Access Specifiers Model for Data Security in Object Oriented Databases

This paper presents a security model for Object Oriented Databases. The approach involves the introduction of several security concerns in object oriented databases. The access specifiers concept of object oriented programming is used in object oriented databases for security of data. This approach secures the data at physical level as well as at conceptual level. In this model three access specifiers public, private and protected are used to secure the data from unauthorized access.
