Agent Technology Is Applied Research In Intrusion Detection

With the development of network, network security is becoming more important: Many security technologies have been used in network security fields. Intrusion detection is a rising technology of network security system and a positive defensive technology. It becomes the focus of computer and network security.This paper mainly introduces Agent technologies applied to IDS , and it begins with the introduction of the intrusion detection and Agent technologies. With the research of IDS and Agent, we presented an agent-based distributed IDS architecture and particularly designed the working theory of this architecture and the components' functions. The mostly components of the architecture are used Agent which run independently and cooperate. The agent-based IDS can adapt the intricate network environment and use the network resources.This article presents the communication platform based on Agent, and designs the communication mechanism, message format and security mechanism. The platform provides the security and credible communication method of the different components.Furthermore, the paper introduces the design of the common Agent model and the development of the network intrusion detection agent.
