A Novel Comparison Validation Framework for IDS and IPS

Intrusion detection system (IDS) and Intrusion prevention system (IPS) are good mechanisms to protect the network from known or unknown attacks. There are many Intrusion systems that were developed in the past years. Some to enhance existing systems and others to develop a new system with different algorithms. However, there is an ongoing issue with research when it comes to Intrusion systems. One of the main issues is how researches compare and validate their work to other related work. In this paper we highlight how IDS are classified and the techniques that are currently being used. We then discuss the current issues of the testing platforms of IDS, datasets, and the main purpose of IDS. Lastly, we present a novel comparison validation framework for IDS.
