The State of the Art of Database Intrusion Tolerance Research
数据库管理系统的入侵容忍技术研究进展

Traditional database security focuses on how to prevent the unauthorized users from stealing data and making damage to data. It can not do anything to mitigate the damage caused by malicious authorized users. Especially in information warfare context, it is more urgent to find effective measures to alleviate or eliminate the damage caused by malicious authorized users. Information Warfare has been one new challenge of Database Security research. In information warfare context, Database Intrusion Tolerance, the ability of anti-malicious authorized users attacks and post-attacks recovery of DBMS, is an emergent principle of database security. It can enhance database survivability. In this paper, we survey the state of the art of database intrusion tolerance in information warfare and present some open problems and possible future research directions.
