Data Leakage Detection

The document discusses a proposed system for detecting data leakage when sensitive data is shared with third party agents. It aims to develop strategies for distributing data to agents in a way that improves the ability to identify which agent leaked the data if a leak occurs. The strategies include optimally allocating real and fake data records among agents and analyzing the likelihood of each agent being responsible for any leaks.

Data Leakage Detection


ABSTRACT: A data distributor has given sensitive data to a set of supposedly trusted agents (third parties). Some of the data is leaked and found in an unauthorized place (e.g., on the web or somebodys laptop). The distributor must assess the likelihood that the leaked data came from one or more agents, as opposed to having been independently gathered by other means. We propose data allocation strategies (across the agents) that improve the probability of identifying leakages. These methods do not rely on alterations of the released data (e.g., watermarks). In some cases we can also inject realistic but fake data records to further improve our chances of detecting leakage and identifying the guilty party. EXISTING SYSTEM: Traditionally, leakage detection is handled by watermarking, e.g., a unique code is embedded in each distributed copy. If that copy is later discovered in the hands of an unauthorized party, the leaker can be identified. Watermarks can be very useful in some cases, but again, involve some modification of the original data. Furthermore, watermarks can sometimes be destroyed if the data recipient is malicious. E.g. A hospital may give patient records to researchers who will devise new treatments. Similarly, a company may have partnerships with other companies that require sharing customer data. Another enterprise may outsource its data processing, so data must be given to various other companies. We call the owner of the data the distributor and the supposedly trusted third parties the agents. PROPOSED SYSTEM: Our goal is to detect when the distributors sensitive data has been leaked by agents, and if possible to identify the agent that leaked the data. Perturbation is a very useful technique where the data is modified and

made less sensitive before being handed to agents. we develop unobtrusive techniques for detecting leakage of a set of objects or records. In this section we develop a model for assessing the guilt of agents. We also present algorithms for distributing objects to agents, in a way that improves our chances of identifying a leaker. Finally, we also consider the option of adding fake objects to the distributed set. Such objects do not correspond to real entities but appear realistic to the agents. In a sense, the fake objects acts as a type of watermark for the entire set, without modifying any individual members. If it turns out an agent was given one or more fake objects that were leaked, then the distributor can be more confident that agent was guilty.

Problem Setup and Notation:

A distributor owns a set T={t1,,tm}of valuable data objects. The distributor wants to share some of the objects with a set of agents U1,U2, Un, but does not wish the objects be leaked to other third parties. The objects in T could be of any type and size, e.g., they could be tuples in a relation, or relations in a database. An agent Ui receives a subset of objects, determined either by a sample request or an explicit request: 1. Sample request 2. Explicit request

our model parameters interact and to check if the interactions match our intuition, in this section we study two simple scenarios as Impact of Probability p and Impact of Overlap between Ri and S. In each scenario we have a target that has obtained all the distributors objects, i.e., T = S.
Algorithms: 1. Evaluation of Explicit Data Request Algorithms

In the first place, the goal of these experiments was to see whether fake objects in the distributed data sets yield significant improvement in our chances of detecting a guilty agent. In the second place, we wanted to evaluate our e-optimal algorithm relative to a random allocation.
2. Evaluation of Sample Data Request Algorithms

With sample data requests agents are not interested in particular objects. Hence, object sharing is not explicitly defined by their requests. The distributor is forced to allocate certain objects to multiple agents only if the number of requested objects exceeds the number of objects in set T. The more data objects the agents request in total, the more recipients on average an object has; and the more objects are shared among different agents, the more difficult it is to detect a guilty agent. MODULES: 1. Data Allocation Module: The main focus of our project is the data allocation problem as how can the distributor intelligently give data to agents in order to improve the chances of detecting a guilty agent,Admin can send the files to the authenticated user, users can edit their account details

etc. Agent views the secret key details through mail. In order to increase the chances of detecting agents that leak data.

2. Fake Object Module:


The distributor creates and adds fake objects to the data that he distributes to agents. Fake objects are objects generated by the distributor in order to increase the chances of detecting agents that leak data. The distributor may be able to add fake objects to the distributed data in order to improve his effectiveness in detecting guilty agents. Our use of fake objects is inspired by the use of trace records in mailing lists. In case we give the wrong secret key to download the file, the duplicate file is opened, and that fake details also send the mail. Ex: The fake object details will display.

3. Optimization Module:
The Optimization Module is the distributors data allocation to agents has one constraint and one objective. The agents constraint is to satisfy distributors requests, by providing them with the number of objects they request or with all available objects that satisfy their conditions. His objective is to be able to detect an agent who leaks any portion of his data. User can able to lock and unlock the files for secure.

4. Data Distributor:
A data distributor has given sensitive data to a set of supposedly trusted agents (third parties). Some of the data is leaked and found in an unauthorized place (e.g., on the web or somebodys laptop). The distributor must assess the likelihood that the leaked data came from one or more agents, as opposed to having been independently gathered by other means.Admin can able to view the which file is leaking and fake users details also.
