Towards a new intelligent generation of intrusion detection system

This paper presents a survey of distributed Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) based on intelligent and mobile agents; it also proposes a new concept of proactive IDS. At first, we introduce the topic. Then, we present limitations of classical IDSs. In the third part, we study the technologies of agent and multi-agent system and present benefits of using it to address shortcoming of classical IDSs. Finally, we present our approach and future work.
