Abstract

The features of actively detection of intrusion detection systems (IDSs) are crucial in cyberspace security evaluation. Most of existing evaluation models are insufficient for selecting proper IDS in varying situations since these methods only base on detection rate and false alarm ratio. The paper proposes an environment-related information security evaluation model for IDSs, and applies the model in a practical IDS evaluation process. Compared to existing ones, the proposed model considers two more factors: background traffic and workload, and thus can achieve a more objective and comprehensive evaluation result for IDSs.
