Abstract

See full text

A method of detecting signatures representing misuse of a local network. Known reference signatures having one or more common events are identified, and represented with a decision graph having one or more shared nodes. Each node of the decision graph represents the occurrence of an event. Given a set of input events, test functions associated with nodes determine the path taken during traversal of the graph. A path of the graph from the parent node to a leaf node represents the occurrence of all events that comprise a signature. The decision graph permits any of the signatures to be detected with only one traversal, and avoids the need for a separate matching process for each signature. In this manner, an entire set of all known reference signatures may be consolidated into a smaller set of decision graphs.
