IDIOM supports two types of interactions: event and control transaction. Event
interactions are used to exchange IDS events such as alerts. IDIOM uses two types
of messages for event interactions: event and error messages. Control transactions
provide a means for one host to initiate an action in, change the state of, or read
the state of another host. Control transactions utilize four types of IDIOM
messages: request, response, configuration, and error messages. Events and
control transactions that are communicated between application instances within
a host are known as local events or local control transactions, or collectively, local
IDIOM messages. Events and control transactions that are communicated
between different hosts using the RDEP protocol are known as remote events and
remote control transactions, or collectively, remote IDIOM messages.
IDAPI
IDAPI is the interface through which all the applications communicate.
SensorApp captures and analyzes the network traffic on its interfaces. When a
signature is matched, SensorApp generates an alert, which is stored in the
EventStore. If the signature is configured to perform the blocking response action,
SensorApp generates a block event, which is also stored in the EventStore.
Figure A-4 on page A-46
illustrates the IDAPI interface.

IDAPI
Each application registers to the IDAPI to send and receive events and control
transactions. IDAPI provides the following services:
•
Control transactions
–
Initiates the control transaction.
–
Waits for the inbound control transaction.
–
Responds to the control transaction.
