  • Detecting and Resolving Firewall Policy Anomalies

    ABSTRACT:

    The advent of emerging computing technologies such as service-oriented architecture and cloud computing has enabled us to perform business services more efficiently and effectively. However, we still suffer from unintended security leakages by unauthorized actions in business services. Firewalls are the most widely deployed security mechanism to ensure the security of private networks in most businesses and institutions. The effectiveness of security protection provided by a firewall mainly depends on the quality of policy configured in the firewall. Unfortunately, designing and managing firewall policies are often error prone due to the complex nature of firewall configurations as well as the lack of systematic analysis mechanisms and tools. In this paper, we represent an innovative policy anomaly management framework for firewalls, adopting a rule-based segmentation technique to identify policy anomalies and derive effective anomaly resolutions. In particular, we articulate a grid-based representation technique, providing an intuitive cognitive sense about policy anomaly. We also discuss a proof-of-concept implementation of a visualization-based firewall policy analysis tool called Firewall Anomaly Management Environment (FAME). In addition, we demonstrate how efficiently our approach can discover and resolve anomalies in firewall policies through rigorous experiments.

    EXISTING SYSTEM:
    Firewall policy management is a challenging task due to the complexity and interdependency of policy rules. This is further exacerbated by the continuous evolution of network and system environments.

    The process of configuring a firewall is tedious and error prone. Therefore, effective mechanisms and tools for policy management are crucial to the success of firewalls.

    Existing policy analysis tools, such as Firewall Policy Advisor and FIREMAN, with the goal of detecting policy anomalies have been introduced. Firewall Policy Advisor only has the capability of detecting pair wise anomalies in firewall rules. FIREMAN can detect anomalies among multiple rules by analyzing the relationships between one rule and the collections of packet spaces derived from all preceding rules.

    However, FIREMAN also has limitations in detecting anomalies. For each firewall rule, FIREMAN only examines all preceding rules but ignores all subsequent rules when performing anomaly analysis. In addition, each analysis result from FIREMAN can only show that there is a misconfiguration between one rule and its preceding rules, but cannot accurately indicate all rules involved in an anomaly.

    PROPOSED SYSTEM:
    In this paper, we represent a novel anomaly management framework for firewalls based on a rule-based segmentation technique to facilitate not only more accurate anomaly detection but also effective anomaly resolution.

    Based on this technique, a network packet space defined by a firewall policy can be divided into a set of disjoint packet space segments. Each segment associated with a unique set of firewall rules accurately indicates an overlap relation (either conflicting or redundant) among those rules.

    We also introduce a flexible conflict resolution method to enable a fine-grained conflict resolution with the help of several effective resolution strategies with respect to the risk assessment of protected networks and the intention of policy definition.

    IEEE Java Project - Design and Implementation of TARF: A Trust-Aware Routing Framework for WSNs

  • Design and Implementation of TARF:
    A Trust-Aware Routing Framework for WSNs

    ABSTRACT:
                 The multihop routing in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) offers little protection against identity deception through replaying routing information. An adversary can exploit this defect to launch various harmful or even devastating attacks against the routing protocols, including sinkhole attacks, wormhole attacks, and Sybil attacks. The situation is further aggravated by mobile and harsh network conditions. Traditional cryptographic techniques or efforts at developing trust-aware routing protocols do not effectively address this severe problem. To secure the WSNs against adversaries misdirecting the multihop routing, we have designed and implemented TARF, a robust trust-aware routing framework for dynamic WSNs. Without tight time synchronization or known geographic information, TARF provides trustworthy and energy-efficient route. Most importantly, TARF proves effective against those harmful attacks developed out of identity deception; the resilience of TARF is verified through extensive evaluation with both simulation and empirical experiments on large-scale WSNs under various scenarios including mobile and RF-shielding network conditions. Further, we have implemented a low-overhead TARF module in TinyOS; as demonstrated, this implementation can be incorporated into existing routing protocols with the least effort. Based on TARF, we also demonstrated a proof-of-concept mobile target detection application that functions well against an anti-detection mechanism.

    EXISTING SYSTEM:
                            In the existing system, the multihop routing of WSNs often becomes the target of malicious attacks. An attacker may tamper nodes physically, create traffic collision with seemingly valid transmission, drop or misdirect messages in routes, or jam the communication channel by creating radio interference.

    PROPOSED SYSTEM:
                     In the proposed system , to secure the WSNs against adversaries misdirecting the multihop routing, we have designed and implemented TARF, a robust trust-aware routing framework for dynamic WSNs.

    IEEE Java Project - Cut Detection in Wireless Sensor Networks

  • prakash chalumuri

  •   ABSTRACT


                     A wireless sensor network can get separated into multiple connected components due to the failure of some of its nodes, which is called a “cut”. In this article we consider the problem of detecting cuts by the remaining nodes of a wireless sensor network. We propose an algorithm that allows (i) every node to detect when the connectivity to a specially designated node has been lost, and (ii) one or more nodes (that are connected to the special node after the cut) to detect the occurrence of the cut. The algorithm is distributed and asynchronous: every node needs to communicate with only those nodes that are within its communication range. The algorithm is based on the iterative computation of a fictitious “electrical potential” of the nodes. The convergence rate of the underlying iterative scheme is independent of the size and structure of the network.

     EXISTING SYSTEM
                        
                     Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks (WMSNs) has many challenges such as nature of wireless media and multimedia information transmission. Consequently traditional mechanisms for network layers are no longer acceptable or applicable for these networks. Wireless sensor network can get separated into multiple connected components due to the failure of some of its nodes, which is called a “cut”. Existing cut detection system deployed only for wired networks.
    Disadvantages
    1. Unsuitable for dynamic network reconfiguration.
    2. Single path routing approach.
     PROPOSED SYSTEM

                Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are a promising technology for monitoring large regions at high spatial and temporal resolution .Failure of a set of nodes will reduce the number of multi-hop paths in the network. Such failures can cause a subset of nodes – that have not failed – to become disconnected from the rest, resulting in a “cut”. Two nodes are said to be disconnected if there is no path between them. We consider the problem of detecting cuts by the nodes of a wireless network. We assume that there is a specially designated node in the network, which we call the source nodeSince a cut may or may not separate a node from the source node, we distinguish between two distinct outcomes of a cut for a particular node. When a node u is disconnected from the source, we say that a DOS (Disconnected from Source) event has occurred for u. When a cut occurs in the network that does not separate a node u from the source node, we say that CCOS (Connected, but a Cut Occurred Somewhere) event has occurred for u. By cut detection we mean (i) detection by each node of a DOS event when it occurs, and (ii) detection of CCOS events by the nodes close to a cut, and the approximate location of the cut. In this article we propose a distributed algorithm to detect cuts, named the Distributed Cut Detection (DCD) algorithm. The algorithm allows each node to detect DOS events and a subset of nodes to detect CCOS events. The algorithm we propose is distributed and asynchronous: it involves only local communication between neighboring nodes, and is robust to temporary communication failure between node pairs The convergence rate of the computation is independent of the size and structure of the network.


    MODULE DESCRIPTION:

    DISTRIBUTED CUT DETECTION:
            
                     The algorithm allows each node to detect DOS events and a subset of nodes to detect CCOS events. The algorithm we propose is distributed and asynchronous: it involves only local communication between neighboring nodes, and is robust to temporary communication failure between node pairs. A key component of the DCD algorithm is a distributed iterative computational step through which the nodes compute their (fictitious) electrical potentials. The convergence rate of the computation is independent of the size and structure of the network.

    CUT:
                         Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are a promising technology for  monitoring large regions at high spatial and temporal resolution. In fact, node failure is expected to be quite common due to the typically limited energy budget of the nodes that are powered by small batteries. Failure of a set of nodes will reduce the number of multi-hop paths in the network. Such failures can cause a subset of nodes – that have not failed – to become disconnected from the rest, resulting in a “cut”. Two nodes are said to be disconnected if there is no path between them.

       SOURCE NODE:
                         We consider the problem of detecting cuts by the nodes of a wireless network. We assume that there is a specially designated node in the network, which we call the source node. The source node may be a base station that serves as an interface between the network and its users.Since a cut may or may not separate a node from the source node, we distinguish between two distinct outcomes of a cut for a particular node.

    CCOS   AND   DOS:
                        When a node u is disconnected from the source, we say that a DOS (Disconnected frOm Source) event has occurred for u. When a cut occurs in the network that does not separate a node u from the source node, we say that CCOS (Connected, but a Cut Occurred Somewhere) event has occurred for u. By cut detection we mean (i) detection by each node of a DOS event when it occurs, and (ii) detection of CCOS events by the nodes close to a cut, and the approximate location of the cut.

    NETWORK SEPARATION:
                      Failure of a set of nodes will reduce the number of multi-hop paths in the network. Such failures can cause a subset of nodes – that have not failed – to become disconnected from the rest, resulting in a “cut”. Because of cut, some nodes may separated from the network, that results the separated nodes can’t receive the data from the source node.

    CONCLUSION
                           
                           
                                    The DCD algorithm we propose here enables every node of a wireless sensor network to detect DOS (Disconnected frOm Source) events if they occur. Second, it enables a subset of nodes that experience CCOS (Connected, but Cut Occurred Somewhere) events to detect them and estimate the approximate location of the cut in the form of a list of active nodes that lie at the boundary of the cut/hole. The DOS and CCOS events are defined with respect to a specially designated source node. The algorithm is based on ideas from electrical network theory and parallel iterative solution of linear equations. Numerical simulations, as well as experimental evaluation on a real WSN system consisting of micaZ motes, show that the algorithm works effectively with a large classes of graphs of varying size and structure, without requiring changes in the parameters. For certain scenarios, the algorithm is assured to detect connection and disconnection to the source node without error. A key strength of the DCD algorithm is that the convergence rate of the underlying iterative scheme is quite fast and independent of the size and structure of the network, which makes detection using this algorithm quite fast. Application of the DCD algorithm to detect node separation and re-connection to the source in mobile networks is a topic of ongoing research.

    IEEE Java Project - Clustering with Multi-Viewpoint based Similarity Measure

  • prakash chalumuri

  • Clustering with Multi-Viewpoint based
    Similarity Measure

    ABSTRACT:

    All clustering methods have to assume some cluster relationship among the data objects that they are applied on. Similarity between a pair of objects can be defined either explicitly or implicitly. In this paper, we introduce a novel multi-viewpoint based similarity measure and two related clustering methods. The major difference between a traditional dissimilarity/similarity measure and ours is that the former uses only a single viewpoint, which is the origin, while the latter utilizes many different viewpoints, which are objects assumed to not be in the same cluster with the two objects being measured. Using multiple viewpoints, more informative assessment of similarity could be achieved. Theoretical analysis and empirical study are conducted to support this claim. Two criterion functions for document clustering are proposed based on this new measure. We compare them with several well-known clustering algorithms that use other popular similarity measures on various document collections to verify the advantages of our proposal.


    EXISTING SYSTEMS
    ·        Clustering is one of the most interesting and important topics in data mining. The aim of clustering is to find intrinsic structures in data, and organize them into meaningful subgroups for further study and analysis. There have been many clustering algorithms published every year.

    ·        Existing Systems greedily picks the next frequent item set which represent the next cluster to minimize the overlapping between the documents that contain both the item set and some remaining item sets.

    ·        In other words, the clustering result depends on the order of picking up the item sets, which in turns depends on the greedy heuristic. This method does not follow a sequential order of selecting clusters. Instead, we assign documents to the best cluster.

    PROPOSED SYSTEM
    ·        The main work is to develop a novel hierarchal algorithm for document clustering which provides maximum efficiency and performance.

    ·        It is particularly focused in studying and making use of cluster overlapping phenomenon to design cluster merging criteria. Proposing a new way to compute the overlap rate in order to improve time efficiency and “the veracity” is mainly concentrated. Based on the Hierarchical Clustering Method, the usage of Expectation-Maximization (EM) algorithm in the Gaussian Mixture Model to count the parameters and make the two sub-clusters combined when their overlap is the largest is narrated.

    ·        Experiments in both public data and document clustering data show that this approach can improve the efficiency of clustering and save computing time.





    Given a data set satisfying the distribution of a mixture of Gaussians, the degree of overlap between components affects the number of clusters “perceived” by a human operator or detected by a clustering algorithm. In other words, there may be a significant difference between intuitively defined clusters and the true clusters corresponding to the components in the mixture.

    ·        CLUSTERING


    MODULE DESCRIPTION:
    HTML Parser

    ·        Parsing is the first step done when the document enters the process state.
    ·        Parsing is defined as the separation or identification of meta tags in a HTML document.
    ·        Here, the raw HTML file is read and it is parsed through all the nodes in the tree structure.

    Cumulative Document

    ·        The cumulative document is the sum of all the documents, containing meta-tags from all the documents.
    ·        We find the references (to other pages) in the input base document and read other documents and then find references in them and so on.
    ·        Thus in all the documents their meta-tags are identified, starting from the base document.

    Document Similarity
    ·        The similarity between two documents is found by the cosine-similarity measure technique.
    ·        The weights in the cosine-similarity are found from the TF-IDF measure between the phrases (meta-tags) of the two documents.
    ·        This is done by computing the term weights involved.
    ·        TF = C / T
    ·        IDF = D / DF.

    D à quotient of the total number of documents
    DF à number of times each word is found in the entire corpus

    C à quotient of no of times a word appears in each document
    T à total number of words in the document
    ·     TFIDF = TF * IDF

    Clustering
    ·        Clustering is a division of data into groups of similar objects.
    ·        Representing the data by fewer clusters necessarily loses certain fine details, but achieves simplification.
    The similar documents are grouped together in a cluster, if their cosine similarity measure is less than a specified threshold

  • BECAN: A Bandwidth-Efficient Cooperative Authentication Scheme for Filtering Injected False Data in Wireless Sensor Networks

    Abstract

    Injecting false data attack is a well known serious threat to wireless sensor network, for which an adversary reports bogus information to sink causing error decision at upper level and energy waste in en-route nodes. In this paper, we propose a novel bandwidth-efficient cooperative authentication (BECAN) scheme for filtering injected false data. Based on the random graph characteristics of sensor node deployment and the cooperative bit-compressed authentication technique, the proposed BECAN scheme can save energy by early detecting and filtering the majority of injected false data with minor extra overheads at the en-route nodes. In addition, only a very small fraction of injected false data needs to be checked by the sink, which thus largely reduces the burden of the sink. Both theoretical and simulation results are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme in terms of high filtering probability and energy saving.









    Architecture
    Fig. 1

    Existing System

    Wireless sensor networks are usually deployed at unattended or hostile environments. Therefore, they are very vulnerable to various security attacks, such as selective forwarding, wormholes, and sybil attacks. In addition, wireless sensor networks may also suffer from injecting false data attack. For an injecting false data attack, an adversary first compromises several sensor nodes, accesses all keying materials stored in the compromised nodes, and then controls these compromised nodes to inject bogus information and send the false data to the sink to cause upper level error decision, as well as energy wasted in en-route nodes.
    Disadvantages

    1.      Energy wasted in en-route nodes.
    2.      Heavy verification burdens.
    3.      Gang injecting false data attack.
    4.      No Cooperative Authentication.

    Proposed System

    In this paper, we propose a novel bandwidth-efficient cooperative authentication (BECAN) scheme for filtering injected false data. Based on the random graph characteristics of sensor node deployment and the cooperative bit-compressed authentication technique, the proposed BECAN scheme can save energy by early detecting and filtering the majority of injected false data with minor extra overheads at the en-route nodes. In addition, only a very small fraction of injected false data needs to be checked by the sink, which thus largely reduces the burden of the sink. Both theoretical and simulation results are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme in terms of high filtering probability and energy saving.
    Advantages

    1.     High filtering probability and energy saving.
    2.     Detect injecting false data attack.
    3.     BECAN Scheme in terms of en-routing filtering probability and false negative rate on true reports.
    4.     Early detecting the injected false data by the en-route sensor nodes.
    5.     Sink Verification
    6.     Prevent/Mitigate the gang injecting false data attack from mobile compromised sensor nodes.

    Modules

    1.     BECAN Scheme
    A novel bandwidth-efficient cooperative authentication (BECAN) scheme for filtering injected false data in wireless sensor networks. Compared with the previously reported mechanisms, the BECAN scheme achieves not only high filtering probability but also high reliability.
    •) First, we study the random graph characteristics of wireless sensor node deployment, and estimate the probability of k-neighbors, which provides the necessary condition for BECAN authentication;
    •)  Second, we propose the BECAN scheme to filter the injected false data with cooperative bit-compressed authentication technique. With the proposed mechanism, injected false data can be early detected and filtered by the en-route sensor nodes. In addition, the accompanied authentication information is bandwidth-efficient; and
    •) Third, we develop a custom simulator to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed BECAN scheme in terms of en-routing filtering probability and false negative rate on true reports.

    2.     Early detecting the injected false data by the en-route sensor nodes
    The sink is a powerful data collection device. Nevertheless, if all authentication tasks are fulfilled at the sink, it is undoubted that the sink becomes a bottleneck. At the same time, if too many injected false data flood into the sink, the sink will surly suffer from the Denial of Service (DoS) attack. Therefore, it is critical to share the authentication tasks with the en-route sensor nodes such that the injected false data can be detected and discarded early. The earlier the injected false data are detected, the more energy can be saved in the whole network.

    3.     Gang Injecting False Data Attack
    We introduce a new stronger injecting false data attack, called gang injecting false data attack, in wireless sensor networks. This kind of attack is usually launched by a gang of compromised sensor nodes controlled and moved by an adversary A. As shown in Fig. 2, when a compromised source node is ready to send a false data, several compromised nodes will first move and aggregate at the source node, and then collude to inject the false data. Because of the mobility, the gang injecting false data attack is more challenging and hard to resist.

    Fig.
    4.     Reliability of the BECAN scheme
                       In addition to the high (en-routing) filtering probability, the BECAN scheme also has high reliability, i.e., even though some sensor nodes are compromised, the true event reports still can reach the sink with high probability. Let FNR be the false negative rate on the true reports and tested as
    If FNR is small, the BECAN scheme is demonstrated high reliability.
