In current, there are complex relationship between the assets of information security product. According to this characteristic, we propose a new asset recognition algorithm (ART) on the improvement of the C4.5 decision tree algorithm, and analyze the computational complexity and space complexity of the proposed algorithm. Finally, we demonstrate that our algorithm is more precise than C4.5 algorithm in asset recognition by an application example whose result verifies the availability of our algorithm.Keywordsdecision tree, information security product, asset recognition, C4.5
