IMAIDS: intelligent mobile agent-based intrusion detection system

Published: 04 April 2013 Publication History

Abstract

Peer-to-peer networks provide many advantages over the conventional client-server network architecture. The one primary drawback of the peer-to-peer architecture is the difficulty in maintaining network security. In this paper we propose to use intelligent mobile agents to detect intrusion in peer-to-peer networks. Towards this we have presented two heuristics which will decide the location of agents in a given peer-to-peer network. The goal of our heuristics is to place the agents in the network such that it can detect intrusion as soon as possible, in other words the response time is minimum. The first heuristic finds the location for a single agent. The second heuristic finds the location of multiple agents where each agent is responsible for certain nodes in the network. The second heuristic also assigns nodes to each agent. We have also performed simulation experiments to evaluate the performance of our proposed heuristics.
