Abstract
Abstract. Assurance technologies for computer security have failed to have significant impacts in the marketplace, with the result that most of the computers connected to the internet are vulnerable to attack. This paper looks at the problem of malicious users from both a historical and practical standpoint. It traces the history of intrusion and intrusion detection from the early 1970s to the present day, beginning with a historical overview. The paper describes the two primary intrusion detection techniques, anomaly detection and signature-based misuse detection, in some detail and describes a number of contemporary research and commercial intrusion detection systems. It ends with a brief discussion of the problems associated with evaluating intrusion detection systems and a discussion of the difficulties associated with making further progress in the field. With respect to the latter, it notes that, like many fields, intrusion detection has been based on a combination of intuition and brute-force techniques. We suspect that these have carried the field as far as they can and that further significant progress will depend on the development of an underlying theoretical basis for the field.
