ISO/IEC 9579:2000, Information technology - Remote database access for SQL with security enhancement [Paperback]

ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 32/WG 5 (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: August 23, 2007

This International Standard, Remote Database Access for SQL (RDA), defines a model for the remote interaction of an SQL-client and one or more SQL-servers through communication media, and defines the encoding of messages, the semantics of messages and associated facilities for mediating the interaction between one SQL-client and one SQL-server.This International Standard also defines a mapping of the RDA Protocol to the specific communication infrastructures TCP/IP and Transport Layer Security (TLS).This International Standard relies upon the facilities provided by ISO/IEC 9075 (SQL) and ISO/IEC 9075-3 (SQL/CLI).This International Standard also:identifies potential security vulnerabilities in remote database access using RDA,defines RDA facilities which protect against the potential vulnerabilities. Normative annexes provide:a Conformance Proforma,an optional language independent Application Programming Interface defined in the notational conventions of ISO/IEC 9075-3 (SQL/CLI) for invoking RDA Operations,an optional mapping of ISO/IEC 9075-3 (SQL/CLI) functions to RDA Operations,definitions of optional SQL-servers, the RDA Location Server and the RDA Support Server, to facilitate interoperation and data distribution in a heterogeneous environment,a set of security profiles that identify which RDA facilities and other security facilities are required for different levels of protection against potential vulnerabilities. Informative annexes provide:an analysis of security service requirements,an ASN.1 specification for the RDA Protocol,an ASN.1 specification for the encoding of multiple rows. This International Standard does not constrain:conforming RDA-client environments to be implemented using any particular processor decomposition,conforming RDA-server environments to be implemented using any particular processor decomposition. This International Standard refers to but does not define:protocols and security mechanisms for communication confidentiality, integrity and authentication of communicating peers,digital signature and authentication mechanisms supported by protocol elements of RDA. This International Standard does not define:algorithms for query decomposition or for the combining of results in a distributed database environment,mechanisms for recovery in the event that transaction co-ordination fails,mechanisms for storage integrity and confidentiality using cryptography,mechanisms to counter Denial of Service attacks.
