ABSTRACT:
A collecting module, within an event management system, detects and reports security events to a collecting database. The collecting database consolidates the events, and a DSA manager signs and verifies the events by appending a digital signature to designated fields. From the events, the collecting database can automatically generate ABI events, which are digitally signed by the DSA manager. For a new event, the digital signature is appended to the Server Name, the Server Serial, the First Occurrence timestamp, and the NsRaw fields. For an updated event, the digital signature is appended to the Server Name, the Server Serial, the Last Occurrence, and the Tally fields. For ABI events, the digital signature is appended to the Source IP, the Other End, the Count, the Total Score, the Last Occurrence, and the Max Severity fields. The collecting database forwards the signed events to an archival database that provides a historical archive of digitally signed events for forensic purposes.
