As the speed of current computer networks in-
creases, it is necessary to protect networks by security systems
such as firewalls and Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) operating
at multigigabit speeds. As attacks on modern networks became
more and more complex, it is necessity to detect attack placed
not only in single packet but at the level of network flows. Pattern
matching in the network flows is the time-critical operation
of many modern IDS. Most of the regularly used patterns
are described by the regular expression. This work describes
advanced hardware architecture for the fast regular expression
matching based on the perfect hashing. The proposed architecture
is scalable and can achieve multigigabit throughput per network
flow.
