The primary task of data leakage detection systems is to detect data leakage and discover the sources for the same. If ever an organization’s sensitive data gets leaked, it may then finds its way to unauthorized devices. This is why it is crucial to trace the source of data leakage so that you can nip the problem in the bud. An advanced data leakage detection system can prevent data from leaking out of its original source.
This project exclusively focuses on designing an improved data leakage detection system. The proposition here is to identify data as leakages by storing dataper agents. It can promptly trace any possible sources of unauthorized leakage by leveraging a data allocation strategy across various agents.
As a part of the strategy, a user can transfer data to other users via “receivers” – these are agents to whom the data is allocated by using ID-based undetectable alterations. The data leakage detection system uses these alterations to identify the source of leaked data immediately when it is found in any unauthorized places or systems.
