| 20090299994 | Automatic generation of embedded signatures for duplicate detection on a public network - In accordance with an aspect of the invention, a method and system are disclosed for constructing an embedded signature in order to facilitate post-facto detection of leakage of sensitive data. The leakage detection mechanism involves: 1) identifying at least one set of words in an electronic document containing sensitive data, the set of words having a low frequency of occurrence in a first collection of electronic documents; and, 2) transmitting a query to search a second collection of electronic documents for any electronic document that contains the set of words having a low frequency of occurrence. This leakage detection mechanism has at least the following advantages: a) it is tamper-resistant; b) it avoids the need to add a watermark to the sensitive data, c) it can be used to locate the sensitive data even if the leakage occurred before the embedded signature was ever identified; and, d) it can be used to detect an embedded signature regardless of whether the data is being presented statically or dynamically. | 12-03-2009 |
| 20090300751 | Unique packet identifiers for preventing leakage of sensitive information - In accordance with an aspect of the invention, leakage prevention is implemented by: a) associating—within a network—a unique identifier with a packet transmitted by a process which has previously accessed data containing sensitive information, and b) searching a packet before it exits a network for the unique identifier. This mechanism provides a strong guarantee against leakage of sensitive data out of a network by facilitating the monitoring of packets which potentially contain the sensitive information. The unique identifier may be located in the header of the packet, which is detectable without requiring a heavy investment of network resources. Additionally, a packet's movement within a network may be tracked by analyzing trapped system calls. Furthermore, an exiting packet may be analyzed by a network firewall, the firewall utilizing various policies to determine how to proceed when a packet containing a unique identifier is located. | 12-03-2009 |
