Abstract

As the number of the alarms is increasingly growing, which are generated by intrusion detection systems (IDS), automatic tools for classification have been proposed to fulfil the requirements of the huge volume of alarms. In addition, it has been shown that an accurate classification requires the evidences from different sources, such as different IDS. Further more, Dempster-Shafer theory is a powerful tool in dealing with the uncertainty information. This paper proposes multiple-level classification model, which aims to classify the large sizes of alarms exactly. Experimental results show that this approach has an outstanding capability of classification. Especially it is quite effective in avoiding alarms grouped into the wrong classes in the case of short of evidences.
