Abstract

Current intrusion detection systems work in isolationfrom access control for the application the systems aim toprotect. The lack of coordination and inter-operation betweenthese components prevents detecting and respondingto ongoing attacks in real time, before they cause damage.To address this, we apply dynamic authorization techniquesto support fine-grained access control and application levelintrusion detection and response capabilities. This paperdescribes our experience withintegrationof the Generic Authorizationand Access Control API (GAA-API) to providedynamic intrusion detection and response for the ApacheWeb Server. The GAA-API is a generic interface which maybe used to enable such dynamic authorization and intrusionresponse capabilities for many applications.
