Abstract: The first generation of Mobile Agents based Intrusion
Detection System just had two components namely data collection
and single centralized analyzer. The disadvantage of this type of
intrusion detection is if connection to the analyzer fails, the entire
system will become useless. In this work, we propose novel hybrid
model for Mobile Agent based Distributed Intrusion Detection
System to overcome the current problem. The proposed model has
new features such as robustness, capability of detecting intrusion
against the IDS itself and capability of updating itself to detect new
pattern of intrusions. In addition, our proposed model is also capable
of tackling some of the weaknesses of centralized Intrusion Detection
System models.
Abstract: In this paper, backup and recovery technique for Peer
to Peer applications, such as a distributed asynchronous Web-Based
Training system that we have previously proposed. In order to
improve the scalability and robustness of this system, all contents and
function are realized on mobile agents. These agents are distributed
to computers, and they can obtain using a Peer to Peer network
that modified Content-Addressable Network. In the proposed system,
although entire services do not become impossible even if some
computers break down, the problem that contents disappear occurs
with an agent-s disappearance. As a solution for this issue, backups
of agents are distributed to computers. If a failure of a computer is
detected, other computers will continue service using backups of the
agents belonged to the computer.
