New SoK paper questions temporal reasoning in intrusion detection systems

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A new Systematization of Knowledge (SoK) paper published on arXiv explores the critical assumptions underlying temporal reasoning in host-based intrusion detection systems. The research highlights that current systems often fail to explicitly state their assumptions about clocks, event delivery, and evidence integrity. By drawing on temporal databases, stream processing, and runtime verification, the paper proposes a framework with five components of a time model and a checklist of evidence assumptions to address these gaps. The analysis reveals that while some early systems acknowledged clock errors, current provenance-based detectors rarely state clock bounds or conditions for conclusion validity across delivery failures, leaving significant open challenges in temporal reasoning for cybersecurity.

    SoK: Timestamps Are Not a Time Model: Rethinking Temporal Reasoning in Host-Based Intrusion Detection

    arXiv:2610.35151v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Host-based intrusion detectors order events, window audit streams and sequence attack stages by their timestamps. Every conclusion they draw therefore rests on assumptions about clocks, delivery, entity identity and the integrity …
