Entropy-based classification of human and digital entities

Abstract:

A method of distinguishing between human and computer actions in a cloud environment includes receiving one or more actions from a monitored cloud environment; identifying a text string associated with the one or more actions; calculating an entropy value for the text string; determining whether the text string is bot-generated based at least in part on the entropy value; and determining whether to generate an alert based at least in part on a result of determining whether the text string is bot-generated.
