Intent-Based Interface

The IBI is a software prototype developed within the scope of HORSE project. The main goal of the module is to match intents that represent the desired state of the system or network and apply policies to achieve those states or, in other words, to fulfill the intents. Currently, the IBI can receive intents encoded as JSON files through a RESTful API or a graphical user interface (GUI). The receives security intents that could be mitigation or prevention intents regarding threats affecting the network. Within the IBI, the intents are processed and matched with the policies that are sent to the RTR module.
