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.

- 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.
