Title
Application-Screen Masking: A Hybrid Approach
Abstract
Large organizations often face difficult trade-offs in balancing the need to share information with the need to safeguard sensitive data. A prominent technique for dealing with this trade-off is on-the-fly screen-masking of sensitive data in applications. We present a unique hybrid approach that combines the advantages of the context available at the presentation layer with the flexibility and low overhead of masking at the network layer. Our solution can identify sensitive information in the visual context of the application screen, and then automatically generate the masking rules to be enforced at runtime. Our approach supports the creation of highly expressive masking rules, while keeping the rule-authoring process easy and intuitive, thus resulting in a system that is both easy to use and effective.
