Abstract
Privacy and security in the context of the streaming systems
largely have been overlooked. We now tackle this important
problem in this paper. Our work focuses on contextaware
security and user-centric privacy preservation in data
stream management systems (DSMS) by exploiting security
constraints (called security punctuations) that are dynamically
embedded into data streams. The novelty of our proposed
approach is that access control policies are not persistently
stored in the DSMS but rather streamed together with
the data. We present novel query operators, termed Security
Shield (SS) and Security-Compliant Join (SCJoin) that are
designed to make queries comply with the security policies
of the streaming data while still guaranteeing near real-time
response. As a proof of feasibility, we have implemented the
security punctuation framework within a real DSMS. Our experimental
results show that our proposed solution incurs low overhead.
