Network attacks occur in high proportion on the internet, thus aside from security as a means of defense there is a need for being able to detect attacks as they occur so that measures can be put in place to tackle them. In this paper, we focus on attack trees as a tool to model attacks thereby facilitating attack detection. More precisely, we present a unified parametrizable attack tree; this can be applied for intrusion detection and can be instantiated to produce particular types of attack trees in literature.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
