A cooperative intrusion detection model for cloud computing networks

Abstract

While cloud computing provides a convenient and efficient network environment for users to obtain powerful computing resources, it also brings some important security issues about data security and reliable services. One of the major security issues is to deal with malicious attacks. To cope with these attacks in this paper, a collaborative intrusion detection architecture is proposed and the E-CARGO model is used to model this system. According to CIDF (Common Intrusion Detection Frame), the components of the intrusion detection system are defined. Furthermore, we design and clearly describe the behaviors of Agent and their interrelationship. At last, experiments are used to verify our method's effectiveness.
