Access specifiers helps us understand degree of rights given to the users in utilizing data records in a right manner. Tampering the records by unauthorized parties is a high concern in secure communication. Tamper detection plays an important role in trouble shooting an issue associated with network/ host intrusion scenario. The advances in computer technology has driven the contemporary world to focus on the World Wide Web for digital data and associated information. People across the globe rely on the internet for all the data from local information to distribution of personal data through heterogeneous networks. Technology and software tools has grown so broad to an extent, where almost all of the financial transactions are taking place through online portals. On the other hand, there has been high growth in the security coercions towards user’s sensitive data. This information is however shared by the online users while performing financial transaction in e-commerce portals. In order to maintain security mechanism over the untrusted networks various authentication techniques available in this regard. All these security procedures are said to be stubborn and adequate on contextual basis, on the other hand over a period of time the intruders find out means to break into systems. Data theft and intrusion into the information systems would increase on a daily basis if defensive measures are not in place. We integrate concepts of secret sharing and data provenance to provide an indigenous solution for parameters of information security namely confidentiality, integrity and availability. Keywords—Data Provenance, Secret Sharing, Information Security, Access control. 1. Introduction When data is transmitted between a point to another point or point to multi point, it can be visualized as data communication scenario. Sender, receiver, protocol followed, communication channel and packets of data are said to be components of communication. In this context, data or message is transmitted through a communication channel in an encrypted fashion for providing security for the same. At the receiver end, the data or message is decrypted and processed further. Fig. 1 demonstrates the concept of communication channels in the networks. One is a high-risk channel with less safety aspects and another is a low-risk system, coupled with good security features [1]. Along with the communication channels with their risk factors, source and destination aspects are also depicted in the above illustration. The low risky communication station is denoted with X1 Y1 Z1 and high risky communication station is with X2 Y2 Z2. The naming convention of the channels depicts the parameters with regards to fundamental security aspects namely confidentiality, integrity and availability. It is with the availability of exceptional wireless internet access in mobile motivated situations, customers and their data has turned out to be massive with respect to media. For example, financial related operations carried out over online platforms by users in many ways were found insecure and unauthenticated.
