چکیده

FLAIM (Framework for Log Anonymization and Information Management) addresses two important needs not well addressed by current log anonymizers. First, it is extremely modular and not tied to the specific log being anonymized. Second, it supports multi-level anonymization, allowing system administrators to make fine-grained trade-offs between information loss and privacy/security concerns. In this paper, we examine anonymization solutions to date and note the above limitations in each. We further describe how FLAIM addresses these problems, and we describe FLAIM’s architecture and features in detail.

Comparison of Traffic Trace Anonymization Tools

Collecting network traffic traces from deployed networks is one of the basic steps in network research. These traces can be used to study real users, traffic engineering, packet classification, web performance, security application or more general network measurement and simulation. However for security and privacy reason monitored traffic traces have to be modified before they are published. T...

An Effective Method for Utility Preserving Social Network Graph Anonymization Based on Mathematical Modeling

In recent years, privacy concerns about social network graph data publishing has increased due to the widespread use of such data for research purposes. This paper addresses the problem of identity disclosure risk of a node assuming that the adversary identifies one of its immediate neighbors in the published data. The related anonymity level of a graph is formulated and a mathematical model is...

Assessing Disclosure Risk in Anonymized Datasets

Sharing of log data is a valuable step towards the improvement of network security. However, logs often contain sensitive information and organizations are hesitant to share them. Anonymization methods are used for increasing protection, lowering the disclosure risk to a level considered safe. Accordingly, a metric for anonymity is necessary to quantitatively assess the risk before releasing lo...

Evaluating the Utility of Single Field Anonymization Polices by the IDS Metric : Towards measuring the trade off between Utility and Security

Anonymization is the process of removing or hiding sensitive information in logs. Anonymization allows organizations to share network logs while not exposing sensitive information. However, there is an inherent trade off between the amount of information revealed in the log and the usefulness of the log to the client (the utility of a log). There are many anonymization techniques, and there are...

SCRUB-PA: A Multi-Level Multi-Dimensional Anonymization Tool for Process Accounting

In the UNIX/Linux environment the kernel can log every command process created by every user using process accounting. This data has many potential uses, including the investigation of security incidents. However, process accounting data is also sensitive since it contains private user information. Consequently, security system administrators have been hindered from sharing these logs. Given th...
