Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
Fraudulent use of the internet, including theft of the communication resource itself is seen as a serious threat to its future development. Detecting this is non trivial, because existing fraud analysis tools need to know what applications are being used, and this difficult to determine for all application types. A solution, based on the analysis of packet size distributions (with packet header information if available) will be investigated, along with a scalable means of deploying this using Active Network concepts. The research would be applicable to a fraud prediction system for smaller ISPs in addition to larger operators.
