On distributed database security aspects

This paper will examine the underlying features of the distributed database architecture. Learning the task of distributed database management system will lead us to a successful design. The design will improve scalability, accessibility and flexibility while accessing various types of data. Developing a successful distributed database system requires to address the importance of security issues that may arise and possibly compromise the access control and the integrity of the system. We propose some solutions for some security aspects such as multilevel access control, confidentiality, reliability, integrity and recovery that pertain to a distributed database system.
