KERBEROS BASED DATA SECURITY IN RESEARCH & PRODUCTION HONEY POT

Abstract

A honey pot is a technique of cloud computing that is proposed for capturing hackers or tracking unusual methods  of  attack.  This technique will seize, recognize and duplicate  the  hacker behavior. It works  in  Cloud  environment where  anything  like technology, tool, and result can be offered as a service. Purveyors offer and deliver such services  to  their  customers  via  the  network. Production  honeypot  is  one  of  the  types  of honeypot which is used to solve the problem of data security in organizations. Honeypot techniques are used to detains the actions of intruder and create a log-file for providing better security in to the cloud network. Kerberos is a protocol for validating the services which  requests  between  true  hosts  across  the  network,  such  as  the  internet. Kerberos builds  on  symmetric  key  cryptography  and  needed  trusted  third  party, Key  Distribution Centre(KDC)  which  uses  public  key  cryptography. This  paper  presents  the  concept of production and research Honeypot as a service in cloud environment by implementing the benefits  of Kerberos  Authentication  system, which distinguishes between hackers  and users, and to provide overall security to the data/network.
