Abstract
In this paper, we discuss the classification of signal transmission system security for modern intrusion detection systems. The content of this paper is based largely on a recent study conducted by the McLean Research Center for the US Army Belvoir R&D Center. This paper has a three-part message. First, the signal transmission component of a modern intrusion detection system is an important point of hostile attack and deserves comprehensive, carefully thought-out classification procedures. However, such classification is not an easy endeavor. Second, the signal transmission system is subject to several kinds of attack, complementing different attacker operations and goals. Third, a classification system focusing on the attacker — his skill and resources — is needed for intelligent decision making in security system integration and design. A good place to start this is with the signal transmission system. We will briefly overview the role of the signal transmission subsystem in modern intrusion detection systems, and we will identify principle technologies. We will then discuss and critique current classification systems. We then present new approaches for consideration.
