Construction Of Secure Snort Intrusion Log Based Database

The fast development of computer and communication technology makes the 21 century to be an information era. The technology of Internet and Intranet has become a very important tool to help information estate grow quickly and society improves itself. The connection of the network makes the share of resources and digital communication come true which bring the innovation of the scientific research, enterprises' operation and social activities.The database is the core part of data reservation and process, so it's very important to the whole information security. Most of the information is saved in the database including business data (transaction data and financial information) and confidential information (private data, engineering data and business or military secret) and so on. The companies who have these kind of assets must make sure that these information can not be accessed from the outside and the unauthorized inside. Database is the foundation of e-business, e-government and ERP, so the safety of the database is the foundation of these systems.This paper introduces the assessment criteria and the recent research progress of the database security and the intrusion detecting system like snort. We discuss some common strategies of database security including identification authentication, security control, ciphering, data backup and restore and audit, and apply these technologies into the construction of the secure snort intrusion log based database effectively.
