A logical replication-based intrusion detection approach for CSCW system

With the rapid development of CSCW techniques, CSCW system security has been of much attention. Its major challenge comes from malicious attacks, which cannot be handled by traditional security mechanisms, such as authorization, access control, encryption, etc. Although there existed some intrusion detection systems, current researches on intrusion detection are still insufficient in accuracy and efficiency for two reasons: firstly, most of them implement malicious transaction detection only by matching samples with predefined patterns; secondly, most current researches mainly resort to semantic analyzing or even only manual interventions to judge the malicious attacks. Inspired by the replication technique, we propose and implement a novel logical replication-based intrusion detection solution for CSCW system in this paper. It provides an additional layer of defense against application attacks, especially program attacks. The approach entitles the system to detect malicious intrusions efficiently at low false positive rate.
