Architecture of Distributed Blockchain Based Intrusion Detecting System for SOHO Networks

Intrusion detecting systems are widely used in corporate networks to protect them from intrusions, but SOHO networks often left being unprotected. One of the main reasons of this is that a corporate IDS are too expensive and complex for SOHO users. Opensource systems require good skills in setting up and configuring IDS and they work standalone without any collaboration. In this paper we propose the architecture of an intrusion detecting system which will be suitable for SOHO networks and will be easy to setup and configure. This architecture will also allow a collaborative intrusion detection by using information collected by nodes from other networks. Proposed architecture is based on a blockchain technology because it allows to setup trusted and secure data exchange between IDS nodes.
