Preventing Disclosure of Sensitive Knowledge by Hiding InferenceA. S. Syed Navaz, M. Ravi, T. Prabhu
Data Mining is a way of extracting data or uncovering hidden patterns of information from databases. So, there is a need to prevent the inference rules from being disclosed such that the more secure data sets cannot be identified from non sensitive attributes. This can be done through removing or adding certain item sets in the transactions Sanitization. The purpose is to hide the Inference rules, so that the user may not be able to discover any valuable information from other non sensitive data and any organisation can release all samples of their data without the fear of Knowledge Discovery In Databases which can be achieved by investigating frequently occurring item sets, rules that can be mined from them with the objective of hiding them. Another way is to release only limited samples in the new database so that there is no information loss and it also satisfies the legitimate needs of the users. The major problem is uncovering hidden patterns, which causes a threat to the database security. Sensitive data are inferred from non-sensitive data based on the semantics of the application the user has, commonly known as the inference problem. Two fundamental approaches to protect sensitive rules from disclosure are that, preventing rules from being generated by hiding the frequent sets of data items and reducing the importance of the rules by setting their confidence below a user-specified threshold.

Entropy based Anomaly Detection System to Prevent DDoS Attacks in CloudA. S. Syed Navaz, V. Sangeetha, C. Prabhadevi
Cloud Computing is a recent computing model provides consistent access to wide area distributed resources. It revolutionized the IT world with its services provision infrastructure, less maintenance cost, data and service availability assurance, rapid accessibility and scalability. Grid and Cloud Computing Intrusion Detection System detects encrypted node communication and find the hidden attack trial which inspects and detects those attacks that network based and host based cant identify. It incorporates Knowledge and behavior analysis to identify specific intrusions. Signature based IDS monitor the packets in the network and identifies those threats by matching with database but It fails to detect those attacks that are not included in database. Signature based IDS will perform poor capturing in large volume of anomalies. Another problem is that Cloud Service Provider hides the attack that is caused by intruder, due to distributed nature cloud environment has high possibility for vulnerable resources. By impersonating legitimate users, the intruders can use a services abundant resources maliciously. In Proposed System we combine few concepts which are available with new intrusion detection techniques. Here to merge Entropy based System with Anomaly detection System for providing multilevel Distributed Denial of Service. This is done in two steps: First, Users are allowed to pass through router in network site in that it incorporates Detection Algorithm and detects for legitimate user. Second, again it pass through router placed in cloud site in that it incorporates confirmation Algorithm and checks for threshold value, if its beyond the threshold value it considered as legitimate user, else its an intruder found in environment.

Security Protocol Review Method Analyzer(SPRMAN)A. S. Syed Navaz, H. Iyyappa Narayanan, R. Vinoth
This Paper is designed using J2EE (JSP, SERVLET), HTML as front end and a Oracle 9i is back end. SPRMAN is been developed for the client British Telecom (BT) UK., Telecom company. Actually the requirement of BT is, they are providing Network Security Related Products to their IT customers like Virtusa,Wipro,HCL etc., This product is framed out by set of protocols and these protocols are been associated with set of components. By grouping all these protocols and components together, product is been developed. After framing out the product, it is been subscribed to their individual customers. Once a customer subscribed the product, then he will be raising a request to the client (BT) for updating any policy or component in the product. The customer has been given read/write access to the subscribed product. The customer user having read/write access is only allowed to raise a request for the product, but not the user having only the read access. The group of request is been managed as manage work queue in client area. Management of this protocol inside the product is considering as Security Protocol Review Method Analyzer. SPRMAN helps BT to overcome all the hurdles faced by them while processing the requests of their various clients using their already existing software applications. SPRMAN emphasizes on nature of the request and gives priority to issues based on their degree of future consequences. Thus SPRMAN builds a good relationship between BT and its customers.
