Abstract
The intrusion detection function monitors for and reports detected intrusion signatures. The dynamic intrusion signatures function determines whether reported intrusion signatures exist in a library of signatures associated with a particular intrusion detection function. If the reported signature does not exist in the library, the library is updated. Detected intrusion signatures are reported to similarly enabled devices for library analysis and updating, if necessary. The related method includes the steps of monitoring for intrusion signatures or other triggering events, analyzing the events and updating IDS signature libraries as necessary.
