An Architectural Metrics Scorecard Based Approach to Intrusion Detection System Evaluation for Wireless Network

چکیده
Wireless IDS architectural metrics are used to compare the intended scope, architecture of wireless IDS, and how they match the deployment architecture. These metrics can be used to evaluate the architectural efficiency of a wireless IDS and can help in designing efficient wireless IDS. Wireless IDS analyze wireless specific traffic including scanning for external users trying to connect to the network through access points and play important role in security to wireless network. Design of wireless IDS is a difficult task as wireless technology is advancing every day, Architectural metrics can play an important role in the design of wireless IDS by measuring the areas concern with the architecture of a wireless IDS. In this paper we describe a set of architectural metrics that are relevant to wireless IDS. A “scorecard” containing the set of values is used as the centerpiece of testing and evaluating a wireless IDS. Evaluation of a wireless IDS can be done by assigning score to various architectural metrics concern with wireless IDS. We apply our architectural metrics scorecard based evaluation approach to three popular wireless IDS Snort-wireless, AirDefense Guard, and Kismet. Finally we discuss the results and the opportunities for further work in this area.

متن کاملA Metrics-Based Approach to Intrusion Detection System Evaluation for Wireless Sensor Network
Metrics are used in identifying the level of risk in not taking a given action, and in that way provide guidance in prioritizing corrective actions. This paper provides a metric based approach that will help administrators of Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) to select the best Intrusion Detection System (IDS) for the sensor network. The metrics discussed in the paper are a subset of the general me...

متن کاملSecuring Cluster-heads in Wireless Sensor Networks by a Hybrid Intrusion Detection System Based on Data Mining
Cluster-based Wireless Sensor Network (CWSN) is a kind of WSNs that because of avoiding long distance communications, preserve the energy of nodes and so is attractive for related applications. The criticality of most applications of WSNs and also their unattended nature, makes sensor nodes often susceptible to many types of attacks. Based on this fact, it is clear that cluster heads (CHs) are ...
