Network event analysis gives useful information on the network status that helps protect attacks. It involves finding sets of frequently used packet information such as IP addresses and requires real-time processing by its nature. Apriori algorithm used for data mining can be applied to find frequent item sets, but is not suitable for analyzing network events on real-time due to the high usage of CPU and memory and thus low processing speed. This paper develops a network event audit module by applying association rules to network events using a new algorithm instead of Apriori algorithm. Test results show that the application of the new algorithm gives drastically low usage of both CPU and memory for network event analysis compared with existing Apriori algorithm.

In general, operating system is offering the security function of OS level to support several web services. However, it is true that security side of OS level is weak from many parts. Specially, it is needed to audit/trace function in security kernel level to satisfy security more than B2 level that define in TCSEC(Trusted Computer System Evaluation Criteria). So we need to create audit data at system call invocation for this, and do to create audit data of equal format about almost event and supply information to do traceback late. This Paper Proposes audit/trace system module that use LKM(Loadable Kernel Module) technique. It is applicable without alteration about existing linux kernel to ensure safe evidence. It offers interface that can utilize external audit data such as intrusion detection system, and also offers safe role based system that is divided system administrator and security administrator These data will going to utilize to computer forensics' data that legal confrontation is Possible.

In this paper,we implement the Audit Trail Service Sydtem for the EDI Security.It has solved a law dispute between enterprises by informations that have generated by the EDI serice systrm.The audit trail service sys-tem implemented for EDI security satisfied the requirements of audit and the protocol of the security serive of X.435 and X.400.The EDI Security Audit System consists of the event discrimiator,the audit recirder,the audit archiver,and the provider of audit services .The event discriminator classified the reansmitted data from the EDI network ot audit sercices.The audit recorder constructs an index that has combined time information wiht audit unformations which are classified by the event discriminator.ZThe audit archiver performas the vacumming of added audit imformations by passing time by passing time.The audit provider is a module that carries out the audit trail servies by using stored audit informations. The audit provider suports audit servies,which are non-requdiation,proof and probe,controller of security,and accesing infrimation.The audit trail service system for EDI security constructs audit information by using index that is combining time imfromation,so it supports especially fast accesing audit information.

Currently most of commercial operating systems contain a high-level audit feature to increase their own security level. Linux does not fall behind the other commercial operating systems in performance and stability, but Linux does not have a good audit feature. Linux is required to support a higher security feature than C2 level of the TCSEC in order to be used as a server operating system, which requires the kernel-level audit feature that provides the system call auditing feature and audit event. In this paper, we present LxBSM, which is a kernel module to provide the kernel-level audit features. The audit record format of LxBSM is compatible with that of Sunshield BSM. The LxBSM is implemented as a loadable kernel module, so it has the enhanced usability. It provides the rich audit records including the user-level audit events such as login/logout. It supports both the pipe and file interface for increasing the connectivity between LxBSM and intrusion detection systems (IDS). The performance of LxBSM is compared and evaluated with that of Linux kernel without the audit features. The response time was increased when the system calls were called to create the audit data, such as fork, execve, open, and close. However any other performance degradation was not observed.
