Information warfare recovery-fighting back through the matrix. (c2012)

Abstract

With the advancement of Internet technology, securing information systems from electronic attacks have become a significant concern. With all the preventive methods, malicious users still find new methods that overcome the system security, and access and modify sensitive information. To make the process of damage assessment and recovery fast and effective and in order not to scan the whole log, researchers have proposed different methods for segmenting the log, and accordingly presented different damage assessment and recovery algorithms. In this work we present an efficient damage assessment and recovery algorithm to recover from malicious transactions based on the concept of the matrix. We also compare the various approaches and present the performance results.
