Incentives of Agent-Based Distributed Intrusion Detection Systems on the Open Network

摘要

We propcse an agent-based distributed intrusion detection system (ADIDS) to enhance the conventional network based or host based IDS on scalability, flexibility, protection and trustworthiness. The agent communication language for digital certificates are encoded in XML format to ensure the most flexibility on the message encryption, decryption, authentication, and authorization. In this paper we demonstrate what are the possible incentives for ADIDS on intrusion detection when compared with regular IDS on the open network.
