Announcing the release of NIST Computer Security Publication : NIST
Inter-agency Report (NISTIR) 7007: An Overview of Issues in Testing 
Intrusion Detection Systems

While intrusion detection systems are becoming ubiquitous defenses in 
today's networks, currently we have no comprehensive and scientifically 
rigorous methodology to test the effectiveness of these systems. This paper 
explores the types of performance measurements that are desired and that 
have been used in the past. We review many past evaluations that have been 
designed to assess these metrics. We also discuss the hurdles that have 
blocked successful measurements in this area and present suggestions for 
research directed toward improving our measurement capabilities.
