Research Area 5: Computing Science: Section 5.3: Information and Software Assurance: Toward Principled Foundations for Honey Objects in Information Security

Abstract

The project aims at creating a theoretical framework and associated methodologies for honey objects. PI will define formalisms from cryptography, including game-based security definitions and hardness reductions, to reason about and analyze the security of honey objects. The research project will include three thrusts: 1) PI will seek to establish scientific foundations by building upon the notion of distribution-transforming encoders (DTEs). 2) PI will create frameworks that can be used to analyze security for honey-object constructions. 3) PI will develop principles in honey-object construction and analysis through formal analysis and empirically study. The goal of these research thrusts is to create formalism for understanding relationships among honey-object based systems and develop frameworks for analytic and empirical security evaluation of honey-object constructions.
