Database design and MLS DBMSs: an unhappy alliance?

Although much work has been performed in the areas of database design and MLS DBMSs, little has been done to marry the two areas together. It is shown that the implementation of a secure database design is not a trivial matter. Two MLS DBMSs, SWORD and SeaView, are used to demonstrate the problems of implementing simple secure application requirements.<<ETX>>
