Encrypted files detection algorithm

Since 2010 there is an increase in leaks of confidential information due to the fault of an internal violator, despite the availability of a wide range of means for detecting and preventing information leaks. One of the possible channels leakage is transmission of information in encrypted form, since existing leak detection tools use signature methods of data classification. The article presents an algorithm for detecting encrypted data based on a statistical model of pseudorandom sequences. The proposed algorithm allows classifying encrypted and compressed data with an accuracy of 0.97.
