  • 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.

    MODULES
    ·        HTML PARSER
    ·        CUMMULATIVE DOCUMENT
    ·        DOCUMENT SIMILARITY
    ·        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

    IEEE Dot Net Project - Automatic Reconfiguration for Large-Scale Reliable StorageSystems

  • Automatic Reconfiguration for Large-Scale Reliable StorageSystems

    Abstract
    Byzantine-fault-tolerant replication enhances the availability and reliability of Internet services that store critical state and preserve it despite attacks or software errors. However, existing Byzantine-fault-tolerant storage systems either assume a static set of replicas, or have limitations in how they handle reconfigurations (e.g., in terms of the scalability of the solutions or the consistency levels they provide). This can be problematic in long-lived, large-scale systems where system membership is likely to change during the system lifetime. In this paper, we present a complete solution for dynamically changing system membership in a large-scale Byzantine-fault-tolerant system. We present a service that tracks system membership and periodically notifies other system nodes of membership changes. The membership service runs mostly automatically, to avoid human configuration errors; is itself Byzantine fault- tolerant and reconfigurable; and provides applications with a sequence of consistent views of the system membership. We demonstrate the utility of this membership service by using it in a novel distributed hash table called dBQS that provides atomic semantics even across changes in replica sets. dBQS is interesting in its own right because its storage algorithms extend existing Byzantine quorum protocols to handle changes in the replica set, and because it differs from previous DHTs by providing Byzantine fault tolerance and offering strong semantics. We implemented the membership service and dBQS. Our results show that the approach works well, in practice: the membership service is able to manage a large system and the cost to change the system membership is low. Existing System In Existing System, replication enhanced the reliability of internet services to store the data’s. The preserved data to be secured from software errors. But, existing Byzantine-fault tolerant systems is a static set of replicas. It has no limitations. So, scalability is inconsistency. So, these data’s are not came for long-lived systems. The existence of the following cryptographic techniques that an adversary cannot subvert: a collision resistant hash function, a public key cryptography scheme, and forward-secure signing key and the existence of a proactive threshold signature protocol. Proposed System In Proposed System, has two parts. The first is a membership service (MS) that tracks and responds to membership changes. The MS works mostly automatically, and requires only minimal human intervention; this way we can reduce manual configuration errors, which are a major cause of disruption in computer systems periodically, the MS publishes a new system membership; in this way it provides a globally consistent view of the set of available servers. The choice of strong consistency makes it easier to implement applications, since it allows clients and servers to make consistent local decisions about which servers are currently responsible for which parts of the service. The second part of our solution addresses the problem of how to reconfigure applications automatically as system membership changes. We present a storage system, dBQS that provides Byzantine-fault-tolerant replicated storage with strong consistency.

    Modules

    1. Reliable Automatic Reconfiguration
    2. Tracking membership Service
    3. Byzantine Fault Tolerance
    4. Dynamic Replication Reliable Automatic Reconfiguration

    In this Module, it provides the abstraction of a globally consistent view of the system membership. This abstraction simplifies the design of applications that use it, since it allows different nodes to agree on which servers are responsible for which subset of the service. It is designed to work at large scale, e.g., tens or hundreds of thousands of servers. Support for large scale is essential since systems today are already large and we can expect them to scale further. It is secure against Byzantine (arbitrary) faults. Handling Byzantine faults is important because it captures the kinds of complex failure modes that have been reported for our target deployments. Tracking membership Service In this Module, is only part of what is needed for automatic reconfiguration. We assume nodes are connected by an unreliable asynchronous network like the Internet, where messages may be lost, corrupted, delayed, duplicated, or delivered out of order. While we make no synchrony assumptions for the system to meet its safety guarantees, it is necessary to make partial synchrony assumptions for liveness. The MS describes membership changes by producing a configuration, which identifies the set of servers currently in the system, and sending it to all servers. To allow the configuration to be exchanged among nodes without possibility of forgery, the MS authenticates it using a signature that can be verified with a well-known public key. Byzantine Fault Tolerance In this Module, to provide Byzantine fault tolerance for the MS, we implement it with group replicas executing the PBFT state machine replication protocol. These MS replicas can run on server nodes, but the size of the MS group is small and independent of the system size. So, to implement from tracking service, 1. Add – It takes a certificate signed by the trusted authority describing the node adds the node to the set of system members. 2. Remove – It also takes a certificate signed by the trusted authority that identifies the node to be removed. And removes this node from the current set of members. 3. Freshness – It receives a freshness challenge, the reply contains the nonce and current epoch number signed by the MS. 4. PROBE – The MS sends probes to servers periodically. It serves respond with a simple ack, or, when a nonce is sent, by repeating the nonce and signing the response. 5. New EPOCH – It informs nodes of a new epoch. Here certificate vouching for the configuration and changes represents the delta in the membership. Dynamic Replication In this Module, to prevent attacker from predicting 1. Choose the random number. 2. Sign the configuration using the old shares 3. Carry out a resharing of the MS keys with the new MS members. 4. Discard the old shares
