Description:
This book supplies step-by-step instructions on how to secure the provenance of data to make sure it is safe from inference attacks. It details the design and implementation of a policy engine for provenance of data and presents case studies that illustrate solutions in a typical distributed health care system for hospitals. Although the case studies describe solutions in the health care domain, the methods presented in the book are applicable to a range of other domains. The book also illustrates the use of Semantic Web technologies and cloud computing technologies for enhancing the scalability of solutions.
