Abstract:

Recently, the network security has become a severe issue. Obtaining the current network security status and predicting the future network security status may contribute to the decisions given by the decision makers. Under the large-scale and complex network environment, the traditional network management method cannot completely meet the demand of network situation awareness, and the network situation awareness based on information fusion has become the development direction of the future. Because network situation assessment is the core of network situation awareness, this paper introduces fuzzy rough set theory based on technologies of network security situation assessment, overcoming the defect that rough set method has to discretize while lost accuracy. By combining the advantages of the fuzzy set and rough set in dealing with uncertainty and vagueness of the data, this paper establishes a network security situation assessment model based on fuzzy rough set. The experiment shows that the model can provide high accuracy, and can provide a more accurate and reasonable evaluation results for the network security situation assessment.

Key words: network security, information fusion, situation assessment, fuzzy rough set
