In the current paper, we present our work towards
6 z4 y4 y5 K' m+ S9 U8 T8 Paccelerating intrusion detection operations at the edge network
using FPGAs. Cloud computing and network function
5 f) M4 t" i" ~5 Tvirtualization have led to a new appealing paradigm for service
delivery and management. Unfortunately, this paradigm fails
to correctly support IoT applications and services that seek
better communication platforms. Security as a Service can also
be seen as a cloud-based model that needs to be accommodated
to fulfill these services requirements. Again, one of the main
2 P! ?6 G3 O, ?issues to be addressed in this context is how to improve the
- h& e5 n5 m' [! Vperformance of such systems or services in order to make them
capable of coping with the huge amount of data while
remaining reliable. A potential solution is the FPGA based
7 C9 b( C1 e* B8 t9 fedge computing, which is a powerful combination offering
FPGA acceleration capabilities together with edge and fog
5 m* ?3 w; h- hbenefits. Indeed, our work focusses on devising an Intrusion
Prevention architecture called FORTISEC (40SEC), that is
meant to operate in a completely softwarized as well as in an
FPGA mode. Thereby, we present suitable algorithms, design
