The Role of Cryptography in Web Mining:

With the huge amount of information available online, the web mining is a fertile area of research which applies the data mining techniques. It relates to several research communities such as Database, Information Retrieval and Visualization. We have categorized web data mining into threes areas; web content mining, web structure mining and web usage mining. In this paper, we discuss about the ant colony performs well when comparing to self organizing maps for web usage patterns. In this research area that is receiving increasing attention from the data mining community. We also discuss mining with respect to client data. In this abstract we address the problem of defining and achieving security in a context where the web database is not fully trusted.
