| Abstract : | We consider the problem of string matching in Network Intrusion Detection Systems (NIDSes). String matching computations dominate in the overall cost of running a NIDS, despite the use of efficient general-purpose string matching algorithms. Aiming at increasing the efficiency and capacity of NIDSes, we have designed E 2 xB, a string matching algorithm that is tailored to the specific characteristics of NIDS string matching. We have implemented E, |
