Abstract:


With the advances of storage technology both personal and corporate data are becoming more vulnerable and prone to loss. Recently, data theft is becoming the biggest challenge for corporates, because data leakage can simply occur through both insiders and outsiders of a corporation. As storage devices are becoming smaller in size and they can be easily transported, misplaced and sensitive data can be exposed. In this paper we present a secure authentication middleware for prevention of information theft to protect data leakage by various portable devices. Our proposed system consists of three different modules: 1) portable storage device monitoring, 2) activity logging and data encryption, and 3) device authorization.
