Paul Porter Thesis Proposal
Friday, February 17th, 2006Paul Porter successfully presented his thesis proposal today to his graduate committee.
Title: Trust Negotiation for Open Database Access Control
Paul’s research will integrate concepts from trust negotiation into database authentication and access control. This will result in a database system that can be accessed by qualified outsiders. He will focus on Hippocratic databases that support strong privacy guarantees for protecting sensitive personal information. The database subjects are able to set the access control requirements regarding who can access their data.
