Abstract-Provenance systems are used to capture history metadata, applications include ownership attribution and determining the quality of a particular data set. Provenance systems are also used for debugging, process improvement, understanding data proof of ownership, certification of validity, etc. The provenance of data includes information about the processes and source data that leads to the current representation. In this paper we study the security risks provenance systems might be exposed to and recommend security solutions to better protect the provenance information.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
