Why choose this project topic?
A focused investigation of detecting modification and deletion within an application event history makes security assumptions visible and testable. The project can use alteration detection, verification cost and missing-event visibility to explain both the value of the proposed control and the situations where it remains insufficient.
How effectively does tamper-evident audit chain prototype address detecting modification and deletion within an application event history, assessed through alteration detection, verification cost and missing-event visibility?
Agree the owned test environment, threat assumptions and assessment criteria with your supervisor; keep the scope focused on detecting modification and deletion within an application event history.
Proposed project objectives
- 01Define the assets, trust boundaries and evidence relevant to detecting modification and deletion within an application event history.
- 02Construct hash-linked synthetic audit records, introduce controlled alterations and test verification with documented checkpoint assumptions.
- 03Evaluate alteration detection, verification cost and missing-event visibility and document residual limitations.
A suggested research approach
Construct hash-linked synthetic audit records, introduce controlled alterations and test verification with documented checkpoint assumptions. Agree the authorisation and data-handling boundaries before any collection. Record the baseline, expected outcomes and reproducible test conditions, then analyse alteration detection, verification cost and missing-event visibility without treating a successful demonstration as proof of complete protection.
What you will need
- Synthetic audit events
- Hash library
- Trusted checkpoint simulator
Keep your project scope clear
Hash chains do not prevent a privileged actor from replacing an entire unchecked history.
