DYNAMICALLY DETERMINING A TRUST LEVEL OF AN END-TO-END LINK

Abstract:

A system and method for dynamically determining a trust level of an end-to-end link of a computer database, including: in a preparation stage: capturing a first set of messages of an end-to-end link; compressing a skeleton of each message of the first set of messages to generate a construct of each message of the first set of messages, the skeleton includes the message without a value field; creating a characteristic histogram of the constructs of the first set of messages; and during an operation stage: capturing a second set of messages of the end-to-end link; compressing a skeleton of each message of the second set of messages to generate a construct of each of the second set of messages; creating a work histogram of the constructs of the second set of messages; and determining a trust level of the end-to-end link by comparing the work histogram with the characteristic histogram.
