Abstract: An unauthorized connection detection system is provided for detecting and addressing unauthorized connection to the network of an improper terminal device without having connection authority by such as spoofing by rewriting an IP address or a MAC address. The terminal device having the connection authority to the network has a dedicated monitoring program product stored therein, to transmit a notification when the connection to the network is started or scheduled correspondence while connected to the network. When a connection startup notification or the scheduled correspondence is not received from the monitoring program product while the connection to the network is permitted by verification of such as the IP address, due to the terminal device connected in an unauthorized manner by spoofing not being provided with the monitoring program product, processing for interrupting communication of the terminal device is performed.

Abstract: An unauthorized-operation-judgment system judges whether an operation received by a computer is an unauthorized operation by referencing a profile to find a peculiar action. This system can handle an unauthorized operation due to a change of a computer be an authorized user and unauthorized operation by a new user whose user profile is not yet created. When a user executes a certain operation, the operation tendency and th operation tendency executed by the user are learned to create a node profile and a user, profile, which are stored in a node-profile-state table and a user-profile-state table of each user, respectively. The node profile and the user profile thus created are referenced so as to perform deviation calculation between the operation received and the normal operation pattern, thereby judging whether the operation is peculiar and calculating the possibility of an unauthorized operation as a score valve.

Abstract: A data merging program causes a computer to perform a step of selecting a first cell as a starting point of merging; a step of comparing a first numerical value, which is recorded in the first cell, with a preset reference value; a step of, if the first numerical value is smaller than the reference value, calculating a total value of the first numerical value and a second numerical value recorded in a second cell adjacent to the first cell in the same column; a step of comparing the total value with the reference value and, if the total value is smaller than the reference value, setting a third cell into which the first and second cells are merged and recording the total value in the third cell; and a step of selecting the third cell as a new starting point of merging.

Abstract: For monitoring invalid data that causes a computer to execute an invalid operation, an invalidity-monitoring program monitors input/output data sent to and received from a network and an externally connected device, and allows a user to set a variety of invalidity determination and apply an efficient rule. A data-acquisition unit acquires input/output data, which is flowing on a network or an externally connected bus, and the ID of an operator. An invalid-operation-determination unit determines whether an operation is invalid by acquiring attribute information on a user corresponding to the ID from a user-storage unit by referencing a rule corresponding to attribute information from rules stored in an invalidity-rule-storage unit and defined for the respective user, and additionally, by referencing a rule that generally determines an operation as invalid regardless of the attributes stored in the invalidity-rule storage unit.

Abstract: A fraud determining system adds, to authorization data concerning a present use, history information, such as a difference in time of use or monetary value between the authorization data and authorization data concerning an immediately previous use. When a determination as to whether the present use involves a fraud is made on the basis of the authorization data concerning the present use, it is possible to determine whether or not the present use is irregular from the history information. The result of the determination is reflected in a score, and therefore, the score can be calculated with high reliability.

Abstract: A fraud score calculating program primarily for use in determining the possibility of credit card fraud can calculate a score reflecting the reliability of a model created based on Bayesian theory. A model which is stored in a fraud detection model database 120 obtains new authorization data and continues learning as the number of data samples increases. Calculation of the score is performed by a calculation logic provided in a scoring subsystem 110. The sample number data for a case corresponding to the authorization data are obtained from the model, and the probability of the occurrence of fraudulent use is calculated. The reliability of the model is also calculated on the basis of, for example, the number of the registered samples, and a fraud score is calculated using both the calculated probability of the occurrence of fraud and the calculated reliability of the model.

Abstract: A fraud score calculating program primarily for use in determining the possibility of credit card fraud can calculate a score reflecting the reliability of a model created based on Bayesian theory. Various factors are extracted from authorization data, and cases are selected for various combinations of the factors. A fraud score is calculated for each case, and a result of score calculation is specified using at least one of the calculated scores. The result of score calculation may be an average of a plurality of the calculated scores. When each score reflects reliability, the result of score calculation may be the largest of the calculated scores.
