Network Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS) are used in computer communication to block and deter intrusions by taking necessary precautions for the networks to be more secure. By analyzing the information such as the IP address, protocol, port number and payload contained in the packets, the systems can be defended against network attacks. The ultimate point where the IPS peeks at its workload is where the evaluation of hundreds of packets reaches at a high network speed. In this research, Aho Corasick (AC) algorithm is chosen as the character matching algorithm. In order to catch up with the high network speeds, the matching algorithm is designed to work in parallel in hardware. All variables used in the system are flashed to the hardware through an interface software program without the need for a hard coded program. The design is highly reconfigurable and finally placed to work in a low cost Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA).
