%X Distributed intrustion detection systems detect attacks on computer systems by analyzing data aggregated from distributed sources. The distributed nature of the data sources allows patterns in the data to be seen that might not be detectable if each of the sources were examined individually. This paper describes the various approaches that have been developed to share and analyze data in such systems, and discusses some issues that must be addressed before fully decentralized distributed intrusion detection systems can be made viable.
