Research on the application of mobile agent in intrusion detection technology

Previously, people´s attention to information security focused on protection module, but with the system vulnerability assessment and intrusion detection work in-depth, detection module is also gaining attention. This paper researches the Agent technology and analyzes the characteristics and architecture of it. Finally this paper proposes the advantages and disadvantages to apply the mobile agent technology to intrusion detection systems, and points out the research direction of the intrusion detection systems based on mobile agent technology.
