Low-power bloom filter architecture for deep packet inspection
Tuğçe Melike Koçak, İlhan Kaya · IEEE Communications Letters · 2006
Bloom filters are frequently used to identify malicious content like viruses in high speed networks. However, architectures proposed to implement bloom filters are not power efficient. In this letter, we propose a new bloom filter architecture that exploits the well-known pipelining technique. Through power analysis we show that pipelining can reduce the power consumption of bloom filters up to 90%, which leads to the energy-efficient implementation of intrusion detection systems.
