Intrusion Detection Systems based on autonomous agents are a promising technology due to their scalability, resilience to failures, independence and reduction of network traffic. However, when used to protect critical systems, the IDS by itself can be the target of malicious attacks. In this paper we propose a security system to verify the integrity of the IDS agents during their execution time, by using software watermarking techniques.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
