ABSTRACT
Data mining has many applications in security including in national security (e.g., surveillance) as well as in cyber security (e.g., virus detection). e threats to national security include attacking buildings, destroying critical infrastructures such as power grids and telecommunication systems [BOLZ05]. Data mining techniques are being investigated to find out who the suspicious people are and who is capable of carrying out terrorist activities. Data mining is also being applied to provide solutions such as intrusion detection and auditing. In this chapter, we will focus mainly on data mining for cyber security applications.
