Pattern Mapping Approach for Detecting Xss Attacks In MultiTier Web Applications Using Double Guard

Abstract

with the advent and explosive growth of the global Internet and electronic commerce environments, adaptive/automatic network intrusion and anomaly detection in wide area data networks and e-commerce infrastructures is fast gaining critical research and practical importance. Many researchers have been performed research for detecting intrusions in multi tier web applications. This paper focuses on Double guard that deploys the IDS at both front end web server and back end data base server has been developed. Virtualization technique has been used for creating containers for each user sessions. This strategy mainly focuses on detecting XSS attacks in multi tier web applications by employing a pattern mapping step wise algorithm. Cross Site Scripting Attack (XSS) belongs to top ten web application vulnerabilities. This paper proposes a mechanism to secure java web applications from XSS by applying a framework based on pattern mapping approach.
