I have a project in college about (DLP – Data Leak Prevention)
and we have to pick up ideas under this title.
do you have any suggestions for me ? ? ?
one my friends suggested building a DLP application that prevents stealing a projects’ source code from a network of computers.
What do you think of that idea ?
Preventing active stealing is very hard. Since hiding data is easy. Encryption, packing, password protected archives, obfuscation, steganography,…
To prevent all that you’d need to lock down the computer very much, and only allow trusted code to run. But then programming on that computer won’t be possible either. Since programming introduces new code by definition.
The best you can achieve in practice without too many restrictions on the user is preventing accidental leaks.
