Filed:

Mar 10, 2003

Appl. No.:

10/385199

Inventors:

Carl Thune - Princeton NJ, US
Laura Gashlin - Parsippany NJ, US
Barbara Howard - North Salem NY, US
Barbara Chin - Mendham NJ, US
Robert Chin - Mendham NJ, US

International Classification:

H04L009/00

US Classification:

713/176000, 713/200000

Abstract:

A system and method for disguising and de-identifying data is provided. Records are extracted from an input data set containing confidential information (e.g., a production database). One or more data transformation algorithms for disguising specific types of data, including first names, last names, company names, telephone numbers, addresses, social security numbers, and e-mail addresses, in addition to generic data, are applied to the records to disguise or “scrub” confidential information therefrom. The transformation algorithms retrieve substitute information from one or more lookup tables, or generate substitute information using in-memory manipulation rules, and produce output records containing the substitute information. The output records are structurally similar to the input records, contain no confidential information, and are stored in an output data set that can be utilized in less-secure (e.g., non-production) environments. Optionally, transformation keys can be provided for increasing confidentiality and improving transformation effectiveness. A configuration tool allows users of various roles to define, approve, and implement data transformation rules, parameters, and processes.

International Classification:

H04L 9/40
H04L 67/1097
G06F 9/455

Abstract:

Concepts and technologies directed to scrubbed internet protocol domain for enhanced cloud security are disclosed herein. In various aspects, a system can include a processor and memory storing instructions that, upon execution, cause performance of operations. The operations can include exposing an application to a service provider network that provides an internet connection, where the application is provided by a datacenter that communicates with the service provider network. The operations can include monitoring traffic flows to the application during an observation time period, where the traffic flows include probe traffic that attempts to reach the application. The operations can include constructing a scrubbed internet protocol domain such that detected probe traffic is prevented from reaching a plurality of virtual machines provided by the datacenter.
