Anomaly Detection in the Case of Message Oriented Middleware

Message Oriented Middleware (MOM), provides a reliable messaging service and transparent interoperation mechanism for different kinds of distributed web based applications. Different MOMs have also been providing basic security services such as authentication, access control, and communication encryption. These basic security services do not necessarily prevent compromised or malicious clients from delivering attack across MOM platforms. This paper presents the authors' preliminary research on an anomaly detection system to detect attacks that leverage on the messaging service provided by MOM, and other kinds of fault in a domain within MOM.
