Description
IP Bouncer is a novel IT artifact that exposes unexpected and unwanted network communication initiated by trusted “insider” applications. It closely follows design science guidelines illustrated in the five design principles of the artifact. One of the novel aspects of the design is the key-pair approach used for assessing appropriate or inappropriate network communications. By coupling the context-awareness of the user with online aggregators of blacklists, IP Bouncer offers greater individual and organizational security protection and earlier detection of network anomalies.
