Data Security
Dorothy Denning, 1982:
• Data Security is the science and study of methods of protecting data (...) from unauthorized disclosure and modification
• Data Security = Confidentiality + Integrity
4
Data Security
• Distinct from systems and network security– Assumes these are already secure
• Tools:– Cryptography, information theory, statistics, …
• Applications:– An enabling technology
5
Discretionary Access Control in SQL
GRANT privileges ON object TO users [WITH GRANT OPTIONS]
GRANT privileges ON object TO users [WITH GRANT OPTIONS]
privileges = SELECT | INSERT(column-name) | UPDATE(column-name) | DELETE | REFERENCES(column-name)object = table | attribute
6
Examples
GRANT INSERT, DELETE ON Customers TO Yuppy WITH GRANT OPTIONS
GRANT INSERT, DELETE ON Customers TO Yuppy WITH GRANT OPTIONS
Queries allowed to Yuppy:
Queries denied to Yuppy:
INSERT INTO Customers(cid, name, address) VALUES(32940, ‘Joe Blow’, ‘Seattle’)
DELETE Customers WHERE LastPurchaseDate < 1995
INSERT INTO Customers(cid, name, address) VALUES(32940, ‘Joe Blow’, ‘Seattle’)
DELETE Customers WHERE LastPurchaseDate < 1995
SELECT Customer.addressFROM CustomerWHERE name = ‘Joe Blow’
SELECT Customer.addressFROM CustomerWHERE name = ‘Joe Blow’
7
Examples
GRANT SELECT ON Customers TO MichaelGRANT SELECT ON Customers TO Michael
Now Michael can SELECT, but not INSERT or DELETE
8
Examples
GRANT SELECT ON Customers TO Michael WITH GRANT OPTIONS
GRANT SELECT ON Customers TO Michael WITH GRANT OPTIONS
Michael can say this: GRANT SELECT ON Customers TO Yuppi
Now Yuppi can SELECT on Customers
9
Examples
GRANT UPDATE (price) ON Product TO LeahGRANT UPDATE (price) ON Product TO Leah
Leah can update, but only Product.price, but not Product.name
10
Examples
GRANT REFERENCES (cid) ON Customer TO BillGRANT REFERENCES (cid) ON Customer TO Bill
Customer(cid, name, address, balance)Orders(oid, cid, amount) cid= foreign key
Customer(cid, name, address, balance)Orders(oid, cid, amount) cid= foreign key
Now Bill can INSERT tuples into Orders
Bill has INSERT/UPDATE rights to Orders.BUT HE CAN’T INSERT ! (why ?)
11
Views and Security
CREATE VIEW PublicCustomers SELECT Name, Address FROM CustomersGRANT SELECT ON PublicCustomers TO Fred
CREATE VIEW PublicCustomers SELECT Name, Address FROM CustomersGRANT SELECT ON PublicCustomers TO Fred
David says
Name Address Balance
Mary Huston 450.99
Sue Seattle -240
Joan Seattle 333.25
Ann Portland -520
David owns
Customers:Fred is notallowed to
see this
12
Views and Security
Name Address Balance
Mary Huston 450.99
Sue Seattle -240
Joan Seattle 333.25
Ann Portland -520
CREATE VIEW BadCreditCustomers SELECT * FROM Customers WHERE Balance < 0GRANT SELECT ON BadCreditCustomers TO John
CREATE VIEW BadCreditCustomers SELECT * FROM Customers WHERE Balance < 0GRANT SELECT ON BadCreditCustomers TO John
David says
David owns
Customers: John isallowed tosee only <0
balances
13
Views and Security• Each customer should see only her/his record
CREATE VIEW CustomerMary SELECT * FROM Customers WHERE name = ‘Mary’GRANT SELECT ON CustomerMary TO Mary
CREATE VIEW CustomerMary SELECT * FROM Customers WHERE name = ‘Mary’GRANT SELECT ON CustomerMary TO Mary
Doesn’t scale.
Need row-level access control !
Name Address Balance
Mary Huston 450.99
Sue Seattle -240
Joan Seattle 333.25
Ann Portland -520
David says
CREATE VIEW CustomerSue SELECT * FROM Customers WHERE name = ‘Sue’GRANT SELECT ON CustomerSue TO Sue
CREATE VIEW CustomerSue SELECT * FROM Customers WHERE name = ‘Sue’GRANT SELECT ON CustomerSue TO Sue

Revocation
REVOKE [GRANT OPTION FOR] privileges ON object FROM users { RESTRICT | CASCADE }
REVOKE [GRANT OPTION FOR] privileges ON object FROM users { RESTRICT | CASCADE }
Administrator says:
REVOKE SELECT ON Customers FROM David CASCADEREVOKE SELECT ON Customers FROM David CASCADE
John loses SELECT privileges on BadCreditCustomers
15
Revocation
Joe: GRANT [….] TO Art …Art: GRANT [….] TO Bob …Bob: GRANT [….] TO Art …Joe: GRANT [….] TO Cal …Cal: GRANT [….] TO Bob …Joe: REVOKE [….] FROM Art CASCADE
Joe: GRANT [….] TO Art …Art: GRANT [….] TO Bob …Bob: GRANT [….] TO Art …Joe: GRANT [….] TO Cal …Cal: GRANT [….] TO Bob …Joe: REVOKE [….] FROM Art CASCADE
Same privilege,same object,
GRANT OPTION
What happens ??
17
Summary of SQL Security
Limitations:• No row level access control• Table creator owns the data: that’s unfair !
… or spectacular failure:• Only 30% assign privileges to users/roles
– And then to protect entire tables, not columns
Access control = great success story of the DB community...
18
Summary (cont)
• Most policies in middleware: slow, error prone:– SAP has 10**4 tables
– GTE over 10**5 attributes
– A brokerage house has 80,000 applications
– A US government entity thinks that it has 350K
• Today the database is not at the center of the policy administration universe
[Rosenthal&Winslett’2004]
19
Security in Statistical DBs
Goal:
• Allow arbitrary aggregate SQL queries
• Hide confidential data
SELECT count(*)FROM PatientsWHERE age=42 and sex=‘M’ and diagnostic=‘schizophrenia’
SELECT count(*)FROM PatientsWHERE age=42 and sex=‘M’ and diagnostic=‘schizophrenia’
OK
SELECT nameFROM PatientWHERE age=42 and sex=‘M’ and diagnostic=‘schizophrenia’
SELECT nameFROM PatientWHERE age=42 and sex=‘M’ and diagnostic=‘schizophrenia’
Not OK
[Adam&Wortmann’89]
20
Security in Statistical DBs
What has been tried:• Query restriction
– Query-size control, query-set overlap control, query monitoring– None is practical
• Data perturbation– Most popular: cell combination, cell suppression– Other methods, for continuous attributes: may introduce bias
• Output perturbation– For continuous attributes only
[Adam&Wortmann’89]
21
Summary on Security in Statistical DB
• Original goal seems impossible to achieve
• Cell combination/suppression are popular, but do not allow arbitrary queries
23
Search claims by:
SQL InjectionYour health insurance company lets you see the claims online:
Now search through the claims :
Dr. Lee
First login: User:
Password:
fred
********
SELECT…FROM…WHERE doctor=‘Dr. Lee’ and patientID=‘fred’SELECT…FROM…WHERE doctor=‘Dr. Lee’ and patientID=‘fred’
[Chris Anley, Advanced SQL Injection In SQL]
24
SQL InjectionNow try this:
Search claims by: Dr. Lee’ OR patientID = ‘suciu’; --
Better:
Search claims by: Dr. Lee’ OR 1 = 1; --
…..WHERE doctor=‘Dr. Lee’ OR patientID=‘suciu’; --’ and patientID=‘fred’…..WHERE doctor=‘Dr. Lee’ OR patientID=‘suciu’; --’ and patientID=‘fred’
26
SQL Injection
• The DBMS works perfectly. So why is SQL injection possible so often ?
• Quick answer:– Poor programming: use stored procedures !
• Deeper answer:– Move policy implementation from apps to DB
27
Latanya Sweeney’s Finding
• In Massachusetts, the Group Insurance Commission (GIC) is responsible for purchasing health insurance for state employees
• GIC has to publish the data:
GIC(zip, dob, sex, diagnosis, procedure, ...)GIC(zip, dob, sex, diagnosis, procedure, ...)
28
Latanya Sweeney’s Finding
• Sweeney paid $20 and bought the voter registration list for Cambridge Massachusetts:
GIC(zip, dob, sex, diagnosis, procedure, ...)VOTER(name, party, ..., zip, dob, sex)
GIC(zip, dob, sex, diagnosis, procedure, ...)VOTER(name, party, ..., zip, dob, sex)
29
Latanya Sweeney’s Finding
• William Weld (former governor) lives in Cambridge, hence is in VOTER
• 6 people in VOTER share his dob
• only 3 of them were man (same sex)
• Weld was the only one in that zip
• Sweeney learned Weld’s medical records !
zip, dob, sex
30
Latanya Sweeney’s Finding
• All systems worked as specified, yet an important data has leaked
• How do we protect against that ?
Some of today’s research in data security address breachesthat happen even if all systems work correctly
31
Summary on Attacks
SQL injection:• A correctness problem:
– Security policy implemented poorly in the application
Sweeney’s finding:• Beyond correctness:
– Leakage occurred when all systems work as specified
33
Research Topics in Data Security
Rest of the talk:
• Information Leakage
• Privacy
• Fine-grained access control
• Data encryption
• Secure shared computation

Information Leakage:k-Anonymity
Definition: each tuple is equal to at least k-1 others
Anonymizing: through suppression and generalization
Hard: NP-complete for supression onlyApproximations exists
[Samarati&Sweeney’98, Meyerson&Williams’04]
35
Information Leakage:Query-view Security
Secret Query View(s) Disclosure ?
S(name) V(name,phone)
S(name,phone)V1(name,dept)V2(dept,phone)
S(name) V(dept)
S(name)where dept=‘HR’
V(name)where dept=‘RD’
TABLE Employee(name, dept, phone)TABLE Employee(name, dept, phone)Have data:
total
big
tiny
none
[Miklau&S’04, Miklau&Dalvi&S’05,Yang&Li’04]
36
Summary on Information Disclosure
• The theoretical research:– Exciting new connections between databases
and information theory, probability theory, cryptography
• The applications: – many years away
[Abadi&Warinschi’05]
37
Privacy
• “Is the right of individuals to determine for themselves when, how and to what extent information about them is communicated to others”
• More complex than confidentiality
[Agrawal’03]
38
Privacy
Involves:
• Data
• Owner
• Requester
• Purpose
• Consent
Example: Alice gives her email to a web service
alice@a.b.com
Privacy policy: P3P
39
Hippocratic Databases
DB support for implementing privacy policies.
• Purpose specification
• Consent
• Limited use
• Limited retention
• …
[Agrawal’03, LeFevrey’04]
alice@a.b.com
Privacy policy: P3P
Hippocratic DB
Protection against: Sloppy organizations Malicious organizations
40
Privacy for Paranoids
• Idea: rely on trusted agents
alice@a.b.com
Agent
aly1@agenthost.com
lice27@agenthost.com
foreign keys ?
[Aggarwal’04]
Protection against: Sloppy organizations Malicious attackers
41
Summary on Privacy
• Major concern in industry– Legislation– Consumer demand
• Challenge:– How to enforce an organization’s stated
policies
42
Fine-grained Access Control
Control access at the tuple level.
• Policy specification languages
• Implementation
43
Policy Specification Language
CREATE AUTHORIZATION VIEW PatientsForDoctors AS SELECT Patient.* FROM Patient, Doctor WHERE Patient.doctorID = Doctor.ID and Doctor.login = %currentUser
CREATE AUTHORIZATION VIEW PatientsForDoctors AS SELECT Patient.* FROM Patient, Doctor WHERE Patient.doctorID = Doctor.ID and Doctor.login = %currentUser
Contextparameters
No standard, but usually based on parameterized views.
44
ImplementationSELECT Patient.name, Patient.ageFROM PatientWHERE Patient.disease = ‘flu’
SELECT Patient.name, Patient.ageFROM PatientWHERE Patient.disease = ‘flu’
SELECT Patient.name, Patient.ageFROM Patient, DoctorWHERE Patient.disease = ‘flu’ and Patient.doctorID = Doctor.ID and Patient.login = %currentUser
SELECT Patient.name, Patient.ageFROM Patient, DoctorWHERE Patient.disease = ‘flu’ and Patient.doctorID = Doctor.ID and Patient.login = %currentUser
e.g. Oracle
45
Two Semantics
• The Truman Model = filter semantics– transform reality– ACCEPT all queries– REWRITE queries– Sometimes misleading results
• The non-Truman model = deny semantics– reject queries– ACCEPT or REJECT queries– Execute query UNCHANGED– May define multiple security views for a user
[Rizvi’04]
SELECT count(*)FROM PatientsWHERE disease=‘flu’
SELECT count(*)FROM PatientsWHERE disease=‘flu’
46
Summary of Fine Grained Access Control
• Trend in industry: label-based security• Killer app: application hosting
– Independent franchises share a single table at headquarters (e.g., Holiday Inn)
– Application runs under requester’s label, cannot see other labels
– Headquarters runs Read queries over them
• Oracle’s Virtual Private Database
[Rosenthal&Winslett’2004]
47
Data Encryption for Publishing
• Users and their keys:
• Complex Policies:
All authorized users: Kuser
Patient: Kpat
Doctor: Kdr
Nurse: Knu
Administrator : Kadmin
All authorized users: Kuser
Patient: Kpat
Doctor: Kdr
Nurse: Knu
Administrator : Kadmin
What is the encryption granularity ?
Doctor researchers may access trials Nurses may access diagnosticEtc…

Summary on Data Encryption
• Industry:– Supported by all vendors:
Oracle, DB2, SQL-Server– Efficiency issues still largely unresolved
• Research:– Hard theoretical security analysis
[Abadi&Warinschi’05]
50
Secure Shared Processing
• Alice has a database DBA
• Bob has a database DBB
• How can they compute Q(DBA, DBB), without revealing their data ?
• Long history in cryptography• Some database queries are easier than general case
51
Secure Shared Processing
[Agrawal’03]
Alice Bob
a b c d c d e
h(a) h(b) h(c) h(d) h(c) h(d) h(e)
Compute one-way hash
Exchange
h(c) h(d) h(e) h(a) h(b) h(c) h(d)
What’s wrong ?
Task: find intersectionwithout revealing the rest
52
Secure Shared ProcessingAlice Bob
a b c d c d e
EB(c) EB(d) EB(e) EA(a) EA(b) EA(c) EA(d)
commutative encryption:h(x) = EA(EB(x)) = EB(EA(x))
EA(a) EA(b) EA(c) EA(d) EB(c) EB(d) EB(e)
EA EB
h(c) h(d) h(e) h(a) h(b) h(c) h(d)
EA EB
h(a) h(b) h(c) h(d) h(c) h(d) h(e)
[Agrawal’03]
53
Summary on Secure Shared Processing
• Secure intersection, joins, data mining
• But are there other examples ?
55
Conclusions
• Traditional data security confined to one server– Security in SQL
– Security in statistical databases
• Attacks possible due to:– Poor implementation of security policies: SQL
injection
– Unintended information leakage in published data
56
Conclusions
• State of the industry: – Data security policies: scattered throughout applications– Database no longer center of the security universe– Needed: automatic means to translate complex policies into
physical implementations
• State of research: data security in global data sharing– Information leakage, privacy, secure computations, etc.– Database research community has an increased appetite for
cryptographic techniques
