Compared with graph-based modeling, CPN based attack model is flexible enough to model Internet intrusions, because of their static and dynamic features. The processes and rules of building CPN based attack model from attack tree are also presented. In order to evaluate the risk of intrusion, some cost elements are added to CPN based attack modeling. This extended model is useful in intrusion detection and risk evaluation. Experiences show that it is easy to exploit CPN based attack modeling approach to provide the controlling functions, such as intrusion response and intrusion defense. A case study given in this paper shows that CPN based attack model has many unique characters which attack tree model hasn’t.展开更多

In this paper, we develop an executable top-down hierarchical Colored Petri Net (CPN) model for multi-traffic CAC in Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) system. By theoretic analysis and CPN simulation, it is demonstrated that the CPN model is isomorphic to Markov Chain (MC) assuming that each data stream follows Poisson distribution and the corresponding arrival time interval is an exponential random variable, and it breaks through MC's explicit limitation, which includes MC's memoryless property and proneness to state space explosion in evaluating CAC process. Moreover, we present four CAC schemes based on CPN model taking into account call-level and packet-level Quality of Service (QoS). The simulation results show that CPN offers significant advantages over MC in modeling CAC strategies and evaluating their performance with less computational complexity in addition to its flexibility and adaptability to different scenarios.展开更多
