A group of researchers from the Laboratory of Technologies of Information Cinvestav IPN developed security software specialized in detecting data theft.
The theft of information illegally generated losses of 4.5 billion in 2014, so the group of specialists from the IPN were given the task of developing a software able to detect possible attempts to steal data.
for the development of the program the researchers used the C language with Linux system. It’s decision will allow the software can be migrated to other platforms, coupled facilitate marketing, he said the lead researcher Jose Juan Garcia Hernandez.
“The system is installed on a server where they are saved documents such as contracts or reports trade secret, but is available at terminals or computers of members of an organization, “said the developer.
This process lets you upload encrypted files with a tracking code the server, the application is able to detect if any of the documents was shared illegally.
to access the documents can be sent as any other email, one person in the organization will act as system administrator to assign the type of credentials to the document sent.
This charge will define whether the recipient of the file can view them on screen or have permission to download and print, among other actions, he explained Garcia Hernandez.
if you do not have those authorizations or corrupt encryption to print it or share it illegally, the software developed has the ability to identify the person who performs the action thanks to the tracking code.
with protection using this system can be identified in just four seconds at the person committing the offense, a suitable period in terms of computer security, highlighted the specialist.
the developer mentioned that the next step of the project will get its intellectual property protection and then start marketing.
