Abstract
In this paper we present the preliminary work we have done to secure an object oriented database. Faced with the difficulties to implement the existing models such as the SODA model [6], we suggest two different approaches which may be complementary. The central idea of our first approach is to provide the user with a single level virtual database which is derived from an object oriented database which supports multilevel entities. The second is based on the decomposition of a multilevel object oriented database into a collection of single level databases. We have not yet fully analyzed difficulties to implement these models, but we feel that they would probably considerably reduce the implementation effort in comparison with the SODA model.
