A dubiety-determining based model for database cumulated anomaly intrusion

The concept of Cumulated Anomaly (CA), which describes a new type of database anomalies, is addressed. A typical CA intrusion is that when a user who is authorized to modify data records under certain constraints deliberately hides his/her intentions to change data beyond constraints in different operations and different transactions. It happens when some appearing to be authorized and normal transactions lead to certain accumulated results out of given thresholds. The existing intrusion techniques are unable to deal with CAs. This paper proposes a detection model, Dubiety-Determining Model (DDM), for Cumulated Anomaly. This model is mainly based on statistical theories and fuzzy set theories. It measures the dubiety degree, which is presented by a real number between 0 and 1, for each database transaction, to show the likelihood of a transaction to be intrusive. The algorithms used in the DDM are introduced. A DDM-based software architecture has been designed and implemented for monitoring database transactions. The experimental results show that the DDM method is feasible and effective

Statistical and fuzzy approach for database security

A new type of database anomaly is described by addressing the concept of Cumulated Anomaly in this paper. Dubiety-Determining Model (DDM), which is a detection model basing on statistical and fuzzy set theories for Cumulated Anomaly, is proposed. DDM can measure the dubiety degree of each database transaction quantitatively. Software system architecture to support the DDM for monitoring database transactions is designed. We also implemented the system and tested it. Our experimental results show that the DDM method is feasible and effective
