SHOMAR: An Open Architecture for Distributed Intrusion Detection Services
Overview Distributed Intrusion Detection Systems (DIDS) offer an alternative to centralized intrusion detection. Current research indicates that a distributed intrusion detection paradigm may afford greater coverage, consequently providing an increase in security. In some cases, DIDS offer an alternative to centralized analysis, consequently improving scalability. SHOMAR, the distributed architecture presented in this paper, provides an open framework that enables secure access to heterogeneous software and hardware components of a distributed intrusion detection system. SHOMAR is built upon a simplified Public Key Infrastructure that provides for authentication, non-repudiation, anti-playback, and access control. This framework supports a broad spectrum of approaches, ranging from hierarchical to peer-to-peer.
