The data was collected by personal interview, related literature and from I internet. The information security guard emphasized cryptography which secured the information from intruders using pass wording, encrypting and data hiding.

The various input forms were then designed and dynamic software developed using Visual Basic 6.0 version. The database created was interfaced with the developed software to produce a distributed Intrusion Detection System. This Software system was tested, documented and con firmed working.
