Intrusion and Detection System Enterprise Network Security Assist Us with computer terms Jialong Zhang
The art of secret writing Converts data into unintelligible (random looking) form Must be reversible (recover original data without loss or modification) Applied cryptography
Plaintext: a message in its original form Ciphertext: a message in the transformed, unrecognized form Encryption: the process that transforms a plaintext into a ciphertext Decryption: the process that transforms a ciphertext to the corresponding plaintext Key: the value used to control encryption/decryption. Encryption/Decryption
To Solve Practical Security Problems • Internet malware detection, defense, and analysis • Intrusion detection, anomaly detections • Network security • Web and social networking security • To help society and country from threat of national security Relevance of the research
Help researchers identify the type of responses that are most effective against botnets • Design Goals • assist the defenders in identifying possible types of botnets • describe key properties of botnet classes Purpose of botnet taxonomy
Key metrics for botnet structuresbotnet effectiveness • Estimate of overall utility. Measure the largest number of bots that can receive instructions and participate in an attack. • Average amount of bandwidth that a bot can contribute, denoted by B.
Botnet efficiency • Network diameter is one means of expressing this efficiency. • This is the average geodesic length of a network.
Botnet robustness • Clustering coefficient measures the average degree of local transitivity. • The transitivity measure index generally captures the robustness of a botnet
Botnet network modelsErdos-Renyi random graph models • Random graphs are created to avoid creating predictable flows. • In a random graph, each node is connected with equal probability to the other N-1 nodes. • The chance that a bot has a degree of k is the binomial distribution:
