Data Leakage Detection Using Client-Server Mechanism

Abstract

Data Leakage is defined as an unintentional distribution of sensitive data to an unauthorized agent or entity. Internet act as the main backbone in business organizations and in every other prospect of life. Though internet plays a significant role still there are certain numbers of security issues in transferring the sensitive data as any culprit employee may public this sensitive data. A data distributor has given sensitive data to a set of his trusted employees. Some of the data is leaked and found in an unauthorized place. The distributor needs to evaluate and find out that leak data came from which culprit employee or the unauthenticated agent. This model proposes data allocation strategies to improve the possibility of identifying the leakage. These methods do not depend upon the alterations of the released data. This model introduces realistic but fake data objects to further improve our chances of detecting leakage and identifying the culprit. Finally, this mechanism shall be then implemented on the cloud server.
