Question
Chapter 7, Problem 2RQ
Program Plan Intro
False positive alarm:
- When an alert occurs in the absence of the actual attack, it is called as false positive alarm.
- IDPS (Intrusion Detection and Prevention system) mistakes the normal activity of the system as an attack and raises alarm.
False negative alarm:
- When no caution or alert is given during the actual attack, it is called as false negative alarm.
- IDPS (Intrusion Detection and Prevention system) fails to detect and respond for the attacks that are caused by outsiders.

IT safety has to be defined more precisely.
Defintion of "intrusion prevention system" is not provided.
As with every security system, intrusion detection systems suffer more from false positives than they do from false negatives. Why?

- Subject: Software Engineering You are designing an intrusion detection system (IDS) to prevent theft at a bank occupying a 60-floor downtown Chicago building. IDS interfaces with motion sensors located both inside and outside of the building as its only means of sensing intrusion. IDS must satisfy the following: Ensurethat a police officer arrives at the location of any intrusion quickly; Makeany intruder run away quickly; Ensure that a maintenance worker arrives at the location of any failed sensor quickly. Questions: Specify a minimal set of signals to support the C-C-I and H-C-I of IDS and its partners. Use pseudo-code to show the operation of the system.
