A security pattern for key-value NoSQL database authorization
Julio Moreno García-Nieto, Eduardo Fernández-Medina Patón, Eduardo B. Fernandez, Manuel Ángel Serrano Martín
Numerous authorization models have been proposed for relational databases. On the other hand, several NoSQL databases used in Big Data applications use a new model appropriate to their requirements for structure, speed, and large amount of data. This model protects each individual cell in key-value databases by labeling them with authorization rights following a Role-Based Access Control model or similar. We present here a pattern to describe this model as it exists in several Big Data systems.
