Fuzzy Approach for Intrusion Detection System: A Survey
Partha Sarathi Bhattacharjee, Shahin Ara Begum · International Journal of Advanced Research in Computer Science · 2013
Secured data communication over internet and any other network is always under threat of intrusions and misuses. Intrusions pose a serious security threat for the stability and the security of information in a network environment. An intrusion is defined as any set of actions that attempt to compromise the integrity, confidentiality or availability of a resource. It includes attempting to destabilize the network, gaining unauthorized access to files with privileges, or mishandling and misusing of software. Intrusion Detection System (IDS) have become a needful component in terms of computer and network security. The goal of intrusion detection is to monitor network activities automatically, detect malicious attacks and to establish a proper architecture of the computer network security. Fuzzy logic dealing with vagueness and imprecision has a capability to represent imprecise forms of reasoning in areas where firm decisions have to be made in indefinite environments and is found to be appropriate for intrusion detection. This paper surveys the various IDS and the fuzzy approaches to IDS. Keywords: Fuzzy Logic, malicious threats, networks security, intrusion detection
