Improving Web Service Security and Privacy

Abstract

This paper proposes a scheme that allows the webservice providers to carry out fine-grained access control onthe data hosted by them. Through data tracking, the schemealso automatically detects the data flows that might lead toattacks on online services. Compared with existing schemes,the proposed scheme is more flexible in managing the data onthe service provider. The scheme relieves the programmersfrom enforcing access control and detecting data flow violationin their applications.
