Intrusion detection is used to monitor and capture intrusions into computer and network systems which attempt to compromise their security. Many intrusions manifest in changes in the intensity of events occuring in computer networks. Because of the ability of exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA) control charts to monitor the rate of occurrences of events based on their intensity, this technique is appropriate for implementation in control limits based algorithms. The paper also gives a review of a possible optimization method. The validation check of results will be performed on authentic network samples.

A password is a form of secret authentication data that is used to control access to a resource. The password is kept secret from those not allowed access, and those wishing to gain access are tested on whether or not they know the password and are granted or denied access accordingly. Passwords vary in the degree of public awareness, security protection and frequency of change. Mitigating authentication weaknesses by increasing password length and complexity will reduce security if passwords are pushed beyond the peak of their effectiveness. This paper deals with an approach to that problem.
