Abstract

Most modern intrusion detection systems employ multiple intrusion sensors to maximize theirtrustworthiness. The overall security view of the multi-sensor intrusion detection system can serve as an aid to appraise the trustworthiness in the system. This paper presents our research effort in that direction by describing a Decision Engine for an Intelligent Intrusion Detection System (IIDS) that fuses information from different intrusion detection sensors using an artificial intelligence technique. The Decision Engine uses Fuzzy Cognitive Maps (FCMs) and fuzzy rule-bases for causal knowledge acquisition and to support the causal knowledge reasoning process. In this paper, we report on the workings of the Decision Engine that has been successfully embedded into the IIDS architecture being built at the Center for Computer Security Research (CCSR), Mississippi State University.
