Abstract

The information system DORIS has been designed to support privacy as the individual's right of informational self-determination. A person can hold two kinds of rights: Authorities on roles (allowing operations) which are statically declared for groups (classes), and acquaintances (access capabilities) that are dynamically granted to persons (instances). The interaction of authorities and acquaintances is studied and some pitfalls are identified. Solutions for circumventing these pitfalls are given. Surprisingly these solutions simplify the query language. An explicit mechanism for cooparating roles is introduced. All concepts are precisely described in syntax and semantics.
