“…Moreover, they analyzed different data protection mechanisms and extensively compared 32 datastores from all database models in terms of authorization and access control, authentication, auditing and logging, encryption and consistency model for data integrity. Alotaibi et al (2019) reviewed access control models in different NoSQL databases, highlighting the lack of FGAC. Colombo and Ferrari (2019) focused on access control, presenting a literature review for existing access control solutions in NoSQL datastores.…”

“…The key-value model uses a hash table and is the simplest one among all NoSQL models. It is powerful and efficient in storing schema-less data in the form of data values associated to keys, which are used as indexes for quickly finding values in large data sets (Alotaibi et al , 2019). Data can be either stored as rows, like structured data, or JSON objects.…”

Purpose Data protection requirements heavily increased due to the rising awareness of data security, legal requirements and technological developments. Today, NoSQL databases are increasingly used in security-critical domains. Current survey works on databases and data security only consider authorization and access control in a very general way and do not regard most of today’s sophisticated requirements. Accordingly, the purpose of this paper is to discuss authorization and access control for relational and NoSQL database models in detail with respect to requirements and current state of the art. Design/methodology/approach This paper follows a systematic literature review approach to study authorization and access control for different database models. Starting with a research on survey works on authorization and access control in databases, the study continues with the identification and definition of advanced authorization and access control requirements, which are generally applicable to any database model. This paper then discusses and compares current database models based on these requirements. Findings As no survey works consider requirements for authorization and access control in different database models so far, the authors define their requirements. Furthermore, the authors discuss the current state of the art for the relational, key-value, column-oriented, document-based and graph database models in comparison to the defined requirements. Originality/value This paper focuses on authorization and access control for various database models, not concrete products. This paper identifies today’s sophisticated – yet general – requirements from the literature and compares them with research results and access control features of current products for the relational and NoSQL database models.
