Data Allocation Strategies for Leakage Detection
Sridhar Gade · IOSR Journal of Computer Engineering · 2012
Data plays a pivotal role in IT systems.Especially when sensitive data has to be sent to other places through trusted agents, it is very challenging and important to detect leakage when they deliberately leak it to others.The scenario where a distributor gives sensitive data to his trusted agents and the data is intentionally leaked to others.The distributor should identify or detect this leakage and its means that is who leaked it as well.This is the problem this paper intended to solve.Towards this we propose new data allocation strategies for improving the probability of detecting leakages accurately.The system should detect leakage correctly and the means as well as against to the leakage by other means.The proposed methods do not relay on the alterations of released data.It is also possible to inject "looks genuine but fake" data in order to improve the probability of detecting leakage and tracing the party who actually leaked it.
