Data leakage detection

Computer Engineering

In this techno-savvy world from sending letters to photos, transmission takes place digitally. Everything from text to images and videos are clustered in category called ‘data’. Moreover organizations have sensitive data that is given to a data distributor. There is quite a possibility of leakage of the data by the agents and can be distributed in unauthorized place. This project describes the ways in which data leaked data can be detected and some ways to prevent the leakage of data where fake data can be injected in the system that appear to be realistic. The unauthorized user when try to access or download the document, the fake data file is downloaded instead of actual data file that seems to be realistic to the user. Algorithms describes the encryption and decryption of data using shared keys. The system also propose the ways to secure the data when the keys are mismatched or when wrong key is used to download the data. The organizations can implement these techniques to secure their sensitive data from the agents often the trusted third parties who share the data in unauthorized way.
