High Performance Intrusion Detection System (HPIDS) for LVC Events

ABSTRACT: The High Performance Intrusion Detection System (HPIDS) is a 10 gigablit Network Intrusion Detection System (NIDS) that utilizes a multi-core CPU and is tuned for the Distributed Interactive Simulation (DIS) protocol and LVC event acitivity. In Phase II, CCAT will complete the development and testing of HPIDS, incorporate federation architectures (e.g., TENA, HLA) and tactical data link protocols (e.g., JREAP C) and deploy it in an LVC environment to evaluate its effectiveness during an LVC event. BENEFIT: HPIDS is a significant commercial opportunity. It provides the LVC community with an expert network security tool that can be easily deployed inside an LVC environment. In addition to providing NIDS protection from outside attacks, HPIDS can also monitor internal network traffic. This makes HPIDS a tool for LVC event monitoring, protecting against insider attacks, and debugging networking and simulation activities in the event.
