An interdisciplinary approach for adding knowledge to computer security systems

Abstract

This paper focuses on the use of Artificial Intelligence (AT) for certain computer security systems. We call this class of security systems "Intelligent Security Systems". Some past works found AI helpful for such security systems as intrusion detection, virus detection, real time analysis of audit records, etc. But, because of the antagonism between security systems' sensibility and knowledge bases' flexibility and friendliness, the use of AI in security cannot be effective without a real discussion between AI and security, namely, an interdisciplinary approach requiring two skills: knowledge engineering and security expertise.<>
