Multi-agent technologies for computer network security: Attack simulation, intrusion detection and intrusion detection learning
This paper presents experience in application of multi-agent technology to design and implementation of multi-agent systems (MASs) intended to cooperatively solve the currently critical tasks in the area of computer network security assurance. These MASs are Agent-based Simulator of Attacks against Computer Networks, Multi-agent Intrusion Detection System and Multi-agent Intrusion Detection Learning System. Each of these MASs is based on strict formal frameworks proposed by authors and designed and implemented as software prototypes on the basis of common agent technology supported by software tool "Multi-agent System Development Kit" developed with participation of the authors. The paper sketches the above MASs and analyses advantages of applying multi-agent technologies for computer network security.
