The importance of network security has grown tremendously and a collection of devices have been introduced, which can improve the security of a network. Network Intrusion Detection Systems (NIDS) are among the most widely deployed such system; popular NIDS use a collection of signatures of known security threats and viruses, which are used to scan each packet's payload. Today, signatures are often specified as regular expressions; thus the core of the NIDS comprises of a regular expressions parser; such parsers are traditionally implemented as finite automata.
