Privacy Preservation in data leakage detection of dynamically changing sensitive data

Abstract

The number of data leakage instances is increasing day by day. Human mistakes are main cause of data leakage. Data leakage caused by human mistakes has some solutions. These solutions provide an alert when there is a data leakage. One of the common approach is to give the contents in the databases and transmitted information over the network to the data leakage detection service provider for getting information about the leakage. But this is an open invitation for an outsider to gain the knowledge about sensitive information about the company or an organization; because the detection is based on third party and contents are available with the data leakage detection service provider. In this report, author has proposed technique for data leakage detection using Rabin fingerprint and RSA algorithm. Using this technique, data owners can perform data leakage detection by preserving the privacy of their sensitive information.
