Review of Data Integrity Models in Multi-Level Security Environments

摘要

As there is an increased reliance upon information in defence operations and in network centric warfare, ensuring the security of the information systems involved is becoming an increasingly important objective. Within the realm of national security, research and development has predominantly focused on ensuring the confidentiality of data within these systems. There has, however, been recent recognition of the role that integrity has in the overall security of a system. To facilitate a better understanding of data integrity as it relates to information security, this paper provides a review of the associated literature including the prevalent data integrity models, evaluation mechanisms and integrity centric implementations.
