Protection Model of Security Systems Based on Neyman-Person Criterion

Abstract

In this paper security systems deployed over an area are regarded abstractly as a diagram of security network. We propose the Neyman-Pearson protection model for security systems, which can be used to determine the protection probability of a security system and find the weakest breach path of a security network. We present the weakest breach path problem formulation, which is defined by the breach protection probability of an unauthorized target passing through a guard field, and provide a solution for this problem by using the Dijkstra’s shortest path algorithm. Finally we study the variation of the breach protection probability with the change of the parameters of the model.
