A Survey on Mobile Agent based Intrusion Detection System

Intrusion detection system (IDS) is the security mechanism that gathers and analyzes the information to detect unwanted attempts of accessing and manipulating the user and system activities and report it to the management station. A Mobile agent (MA) is a composition of computer software and data which is able to migrate (move) from one computer to another autonomously and continue its execution on the destination computer. Taking the recent development i.e. going to this field, mobile agent based intrusion detection system is an efficient way to the intrusion detection in the distributed environment. This paper is a review paper and currently summarizes the current state of the mobile agent based intrusion detection system. We discuss the performance gain that occur using mobile agent on intrusion detection system and review the existing mobile agent based intrusion detection system[MAIDS] focusing on each of the categories of the classification, techniques used and the shortcomings of the current IDS design and implementations. Analyzing the existing [MA-IDS], we suggest some improvement that can be done in the existing system to avoid the malicious activities for the future security of the computer systems and the network.
