Abstract

Database security is an important issue in database design. Availability, confidentiality, and integrity are properties used to evaluate databases’ security level. Methods such as authentication, auditing, and access control could be utilized. These methods are distinguished by the time when they are used. Background knowledge such as relational databases’ structure and SQL operations is of great help in understanding database security.
