' C: f* E9 u* _+ m In the current paper, we present our work towards
accelerating intrusion detection operations at the edge network
using FPGAs. Cloud computing and network function
virtualization have led to a new appealing paradigm for service

to correctly support IoT applications and services that seek

be seen as a cloud-based model that needs to be accommodated
to fulfill these services requirements. Again, one of the main

capable of coping with the huge amount of data while
remaining reliable. A potential solution is the FPGA based
