摘要
In the era of global Internet security threats,there is an urgent need for different organizations to cooperate and jointly fight against cyber attacks.We present an algorithm that combines a privacy-preserving technique and a multi-step attack-correlation method to better balance the privacy and availability of alarm data.This algorithm is used to construct multi-step attack scenarios by discovering sequential attack-behavior patterns.It analyzes the time-sequential characteristics of attack behaviors and implements a support-evaluation method.Optimized candidate attack-sequence generation is applied to solve the problem of pre-defined association-rule complexity,as well as expert-knowledge dependency.An enhanced k-anonymity method is applied to this algorithm to preserve privacy.Experimental results indicate that the algorithm has better performance and accuracy for multi-step attack correlation than other methods,and reaches a good balance between efficiency and privacy.
