Secured Autonomous Agent-Based Intrusion Detection System (SAAIDS)

Secured Antonomous Agent-Based Intrusion Detection System (SAAIDS) is developed to design new agent-based intrusion detection system (IDS) based on newly designed SAAIDS architecture and design agent communication and verification protocols and algorithms. The architecture tends to provide secure agent communication and protection of the agent itself. In overcoming problems in existing agent-based IDS, the architecture of SAAIDS is designed to enroll all components in an agent. P2P connection solved single point of failure, multilevel authorization problem and delay on information sending by its design which provides direct connection between agents. In avoiding attacks on message sending process, the architecture was designed with agent communication protocol and algorithm tends to provide secured communication between agents. Agent Verification Protocol and algorithm designed to avoid from unauthorized agent running and doing damages in the system. The unauthorized agent produced when agents being duplicated or altered.The newly designed architecture of SAAIDS, Agent Communication and Verification Protocol and Algorithm was developed and implemented. At the end of the research phase, system testing has proved that the proposed solutions able to avoid all the problems stated above.
