Design of Intrusion Detection and Prevention System (IDPS) using DGSOTFC in collaborative protection networks

Intrusion Detection System (IDS) is the process of monitoring the events that occur in a system or network and process them for possible intrusions where as Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) has the capability to attempt to stop such possible intrusions. Combining the two systems will result in IDPS which not only detects the attacks but also prevent such attacks to occur in the networks. Distributed Denial of Service (DDOS) attacks are the major concern for security in the collaborative networks. Although non DDOS attacks are also make the network performances poor, the effect of DDOS attacks is severe. In DDOS attacks, flooding of the particular node as victim and jam it with massive traffic happens and the complete network performance is affected. In this paper, a novel Intrusion Detection and Prevention System is designed which detects the flooding DDOS attacks based on Firecol and prevents the attacks based on Dynamic Growing Self Organizing Tree (DGSOT) for collaborative networks. Simulation results show that DGSOT with Firecol (DGSOTFC) produces better intrusion detection and prevention system. Performance metrics based on the parameters delay and energy conservation are better in DGSOT-FC than the traditional IDPS systems.
