An intrusion detection technique based on continuous binary communication channels

Abstract

Choosing Intrusion Detection Systems (IDSs) is difficult owing to the availability of different IDS techniques, the nature of attacks and the inability of IDS techniques to guarantee total security. The use of Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPSs) as a first line of defence does not prevent all attacks, so IDSs are needed as a second line of defence. Anomaly and signature-based techniques are the main approaches employed by IDSs. This new IDS technique is based on two main anomaly detection techniques: statistical and predictive pattern generation techniques. This IDS will detect both known and unknown attacks using signature-based and anomaly techniques.
