Fraud Detection Thoughts







Fraud Detection Thoughts

Fraud Detection Thoughts 03/19/2005 02:50 AM

Some problems with using individual user behavior analysis for fraud detection:

  • Low ROI
  • High false signals
  • Bad user experiences

IMHO, it makes more sense to just give the user the means to protect themselves.  Allow user to move functionalities to areas with the desired protection level and set thresholds to the level suitable for them.

For example, divide up functions into three boxes, representing three levels of required authentication, and let the user move functions between boxes.  I would keep transaction history at far left and move money transfer to the far right which will result in e-mail confirmation for each transaction.

Much of the user chores can be alleviated by offering a set of standard account configuration packages.  For premium accounts, additional boxes could be added for more intimate verifications like a personal call from the account manager.  Hi, Don.  Are you sure you want to transfer half of your account to a russian bank?

Virus Detection
http://link.abpi.net/l.php?20040209A2

Researchers at Purdue University have developed a miniature device sensitive enough to detect a single virus particle. The device is tiny cantilever, a diving board-like beam of silicon that naturally vibrates at a specific frequency. When a virus particle weighing about one-trillionth as much as a grain of rice lands on the cantilever, it vibrates at a different frequency. The work, funded by the National Institutes of Health, is aimed at developing advanced sensors capable of detecting airborne viruses, bacteria, and other contaminants. Such sensors will have applications in areas including environmental-health monitoring in hospitals and homeland security. The next step will be to coat a cantilever with the antibodies for a specific virus. Only those virus particles would stick to the device, making it possible to create detectors sensitive to specific pathogens.

David Pescovitz: Scientists at Los Alamos National Laboratory have devised a new method to detect the chemical residue left behind by your fingertips. They used micro-X-ray fluorescence (MXRF) to reveal the sodium, potassium, chlorine, and other elements excreted in sweat and deposited in a fingerprint pattern. From Los Alamos News:
 Orgs Pa Newsbulletin Images FingerprintsThe technique has several advantages over traditional fingerprint detection methods that involve treating the suspect area with powders, liquids, or vapors in order to add color to the fingerprint so that it can be easily seen and photographed. Using this technique, known as contrast enhancement, it is sometimes difficult to detect fingerprints present on certain substances, such as multicolored backgrounds, fibrous papers and textiles, wood, leather, plastic, adhesives and human skin.

Since MXRF is noninvasive, a fingerprint analyzed by the method is left pristine for examination by other methods like DNA extraction.

Structured change detection


Structured change detection 03/06/2004 01:57 AM
Consider two versions of a Word document saved as XML. There are "structured diff tools that can map the changes at an intermediate level, in terms of XML elements. For example, IBM's AlphaWorks site offers he XML Diff and Merge Tool for Java, while Microsoft's GotDotNet site offers XML Diff and Patch for .Net. Both of these free tools can track element-level change. To get a sense of what's possible, check out Monsell EDM's online demo of its Delta XML technology. The demo compares two subtly different versions of a complex graphic -- the standard SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) "tiger" benchmark -- and animates the differences between the two. It's stunningly cool.

As XML becomes the standard way to represent prose, graphics, and other content, we should expect such change visualization to become routine. What about code? It has sections, subsections, and paragraphs, too. XML isn't -- and probably shouldn't be -- the primary way we read and write code. But the underlying abstract syntax tree has structure that can -- and arguably should -- help us see and comprehend the code's evolution. [Full story at InfoWorld.com]

Topic Detection and Tracking (TDT)

Topic Detection and Tracking (TDT)
http://www.itl.n ist.gov/iaui/894.01/tests/tdt/

Topic Detection and Tracking research was pursued under the DARPA Translingual Information Detection, Extraction, and Summarization (TIDES) program. Since the TIDES program ends in 2005, the timing and scope of the next TDT evaluation is contigent on resolving funding issues. More will be known early in 2005. Stay tuned to the TDT mailing list and this site for details. TDT research develops algorithms for discovering and threading together topically related material in streams of data such as newswire and broadcast news in both English and Mandarin Chinese. The overview paper "Multilingual Topic Detection and Tracking: Successful Research Enabled by Corpora and Evaluation," (Wayne LREC2000) describes in more detail the TDT program, the TDT corpora (collections of broadcast news recordings and transcripts), and the TDT technology evaluation paradigm. This has been added to Data Mining Resources Subject Tracer™ Information Blog.

USB Memory With Ghost Detection


USB Memory With Ghost Detection 04/01/2005 10:59 AM

ghost_usb.jpg imageSolidAlliance has announced the "world's first USB memory with ghost detection." The "GhostRadar USB Memory," in addition to having a capacity of up to 512MB, features a magnetic field sensor, people-detecting sensors, and a biological clock. When the unit detects a ghost, a certain pattern will shine on the LED display.

Not that ghosts and USB memory have anything to do with each other.

Analyzing firewall logs is key to understanding the threats your servers face. Knowing what the bad guys are looking for is the first step in assessing how vulnerable your servers are. Both open source and commercial firewalls make log information available to firewall administrator. But taking risk assessment a step further, what if there were a way to apply the principles that make open source software successful to firewall log analysis? A way to help yourself and others at the same time? The DShield project seeks to do just that.
