using FPGAs. Cloud computing and network function
virtualization 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

performance 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
edge computing, which is a powerful combination offering
FPGA acceleration capabilities together with edge and fog
benefits. Indeed, our work focusses on devising an Intrusion
