Research on intrusion detection system based on mobile agent

A intrusion detection system (MAAFID) using mobile agent technology is presented in this paper and the advantage of intrusion detection system based on mobile agent is elucidated. First DCA collects information when it randomly moves around the network. The DCA then transfer the information it has collected to a DAA which will evaluate the probability of intrusion. The paper mainly discusses the quantifiable relationship between the number of DCA and the probability of detecting an intrusion, and finally gives a simulation result.
