Abstract

Traditional Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) are built on a monolithic architecture that does most of the tasks like data collection and processing. This monolithic architecture presents a lot of disadvantages especially in the system’s efficiency, scalability, and configurability. These facts became the motivation for researching different approaches in implementing IDSs. One growing research is the use of distributed systems as the architecture in implementing IDSs. In this type of architecture, the traditional monolithic IDS will be split into several independent modules, which will be called Autonomous Agents. A distributed system solves some of the problems presented by the monolithic architecture but also raises new problems. Characteristics of a good IDS, as well as some of the limitations of existing IDSs, shall be discussed in this seminar. It will also briefly tackle some of the models for implementing monolithic IDSs. Ultimately, this discussion shall focus on the implementation of the distributed IDS. Detailed discussions on its components, design and implementation issues and evaluation of its implementation called Autonomous Agents for Intrusion Detection (AAFID).
