- Abstract
- The current Internet threat environment is characterized by an increase in data theft, data leakage, and the creation of targeted, malicious code for the purpose of stealing confidential information that can be used for financial gain. This paper focuses on protecting sensitive files from getting accidently leaked out of a system through unauthorized USB devices. We propose a hardware architecture guaranteeing USB-based data leakage prevention. The prototype board connected to a USB host system intercepts and analyzes USB data transferred to a USB device. This approach provides flexible security enforcement policies including alerting and real-time blocking.
