Abstract NIDS (Network Intrusion Detection Systems) plays a vital role in security
threats to computers and networks. With the onset of gigabit networks, hardware-based
Intrusion Detection System gains popularity because of its high performance when
compared to the software-based NIDS. The software-based system limits parallel
execution, which in turn confines the performance of a modern network. This paper
presents a signature-based lookup technique using reconfigurable hardware. Content
Addressable Memory (CAM) is used as a lookup table architecture to improve the speed
instead of search algorithms. To minimize the power and to increase the speed, precomputation based… More >
