Attribute-Based Access Control for NoSQL Databases.

NoSQL databases are gaining popularity in recent times for their ability to manage high volumes of unstructured data efficiently. This necessitates such databases to have strict data security mechanisms. Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC) has been widely appreciated for its high flexibility and dynamic nature.

Enabling Attribute-based Access Control in NoSQL Databases.

NoSQL databases are being increasingly used for efficient management of high volumes of unstructured data in applications like information retrieval, natural language processing, social computing, etc. However, unlike traditional databases, data protection measures such as access control for these databases are still in their infancy, which could lead to significant vulnerabilities and security/privacy issues as their adoption increases. Attribute-based Access Control (ABAC), which provides a flexible and dynamic solution to access control, can be effective for mediating accesses in typical usage scenarios for NoSQL databases.
