Privacy-Preserving Detection of Sensitive Data Exposure

This document presents a privacy-preserving data leak detection solution that allows organizations to detect inadvertent leaks of sensitive data caused by human errors, while delegating the detection operation to a third party without revealing the actual sensitive data. The solution uses a special set of sensitive data digests during detection, enabling detection of leaks while preserving privacy. Evaluation results showed the method can accurately detect leaks with very few false alarms under different leak scenarios.

Privacy-Preserving Detection of Sensitive Data Exposure

Abstract:
Statistics from security firms, research institutions and government organizations show that
the number of data-leak instances have grown rapidly in recent years. Among various data-
leak cases, human mistakes are one of the main causes of data loss. There exist solutions
detecting inadvertent sensitive data leaks caused by human mistakes and to provide alerts
for organizations. A common approach is to screen content in storage and transmission for
exposed sensitive information. Such an approach usually requires the detection operation to
be conducted in secrecy. However, this secrecy requirement is challenging to satisfy in
practice, as detection servers may be compromised or outsourced. In this paper, we
present a privacy-preserving data-leak detection (DLD) solution to solve the issue where a
special set of sensitive data digests is used in detection. The advantage of our method is
that it enables the data owner to safely delegate the detection operation to a semihonest
provider without revealing the sensitive data to the provider. We describe how Internet
service providers can offer their customers DLD as an add-on service with strong privacy
guarantees. The evaluation results show that our method can support accurate detection
with very small number of false alarms under various data-leak scenarios.
