A Fault Tolerance Honeypots Network for Securing E-government

One of the big challenges of E-government adoption among citizens is security. Numerous security approaches exist in E-commerce, and all of them are applicable to E-government. Usually government networks can communicate to each other better than business networks, because, most of them are connected for transferring information, but businesses are competitors and they don\´t disclose their sensitive information. Utilizing "honeypots" is a good solution for tracing hackers and revealing their tools. In this paper, "connectedness" of E-government networks and honeypots are employed to propose an approach for securing a fault tolerance E-government network. This framework solves the problem of low interaction and high interaction honeypots. It creates an environment for hackers that they can use many of the available resources; at the same time, it prevents them from misusing those resources for future attacks.
