Patent attributes
Secure intialization for detecting intrusions is disclosed. The secure initialization includes receiving a behavior profile associated with an application and reading the behavior profile associated with the application. The secure initialization further includes monitoring execution of the application, according to the behavior profile. If the behavior of the application does not conform to the behavior profile, a message is issued indicating that the application is not conforming to the behavior profile. The behavior profile can be generated by a developer of the intrusion detection system, a developer of the application, and/or a third party developer. Additionally, the behavior profile is generated by executing the system on a reference computer system or by heuristic determination.
