Abstract Inference control of queries for relational databases confines
the information content and thus the usability of data returned to a
client, aiming to keep some pieces of information confidential as specified
in a policy, in particular for the sake of privacy. In general, there
is a tradeoff between the following factors: on the one hand, the expressiveness
offered to administrators to declare a schema, a confidentiality
policy and assumptions about a client’s a priori knowledge; on the
other hand, the computational complexity of a provably confidentiality
preserving enforcement mechanism. We propose and investigate a new
balanced solution for a widely applicable situation: we admit relational
schemas with functional and join dependencies, which are also treated as
a priori knowledge, and select-project sentences for policies and queries;
we design an efficient signature-based enforcement mechanism that we
implement for an Oracle/SQL-system. At declaration time, the inference
signatures are compiled from an analysis of all possible crucial inferences,
and at run time they are employed like in the field of intrusion detection.
