Operations at the Edge Network using FPGAs

In the current paper, we present our work towards
accelerating intrusion detection operations at the edge network

delivery and management. Unfortunately, this paradigm fails
to correctly support IoT applications and services that seek

capable of coping with the huge amount of data while
