A Data Spoofing Encryption Algorithm for Data Security and Data Privacy

Data security and data privacy are two hot topics in the research world because they cause big damage and are against PDPA laws. Hacker always uses a sophisticated way to hack into the official database. The purpose of this research is to present a method to systematically modify the numerical data to create a mimic database used as a honeypot. An attacker is not aware that he/she is interacting with fabricated data. We proposed a novel algorithm named a "Data Spoofing Encryption (DSE) algorithm" in order to normalize data to avoid the attacker’s awareness and preserve data privacy. Experimental results indicated that the proposed technique is effective in producing normalized data and in preserving the confidentiality of original data.
