An artificial immune system architecture for computer security applications

An artificial immune system architecture for computer security applications

With increased global interconnectivity, reliance on e-commerce, network services, and Internet communication, computer security has become a necessity. Organizations must protect their systems from intrusion and computer-virus attacks. Such protection must detect anomalous patterns by exploiting known signatures while monitoring normal computer programs and network usage for abnormalities. Cur...

Architecture for an Artificial Immune System

An artificial immune system (ARTIS) is described which incorporates many properties of natural immune systems, including diversity, distributed computation, error tolerance, dynamic learning and adaptation, and self-monitoring. ARTIS is a general framework for a distributed adaptive system and could, in principle, be applied to many domains. In this paper, ARTIS is applied to computer security ...

A Distributed Architecture for an Adaptive Computer Virus Immune System

Computer viruses are widely recognized as a sig-niicant computer threat. The \birth rate" of new viruses is high and increasing due to global connec-tivity, and technology improvements can accelerate their spread. In response to this threat, some contemporary research eeorts are aimed at creating computer virus immune systems (CVIS). A CVIS uses the human immune system as a model for identifyin...

Artificial Immune System Approaches for Aerospace Applications

Artificial Immune Systems (AIS) combine a priori knowledge with the adapting capabilities of biological immune systems to provide a powerful alternative to currently available techniques for pattern recognition, modeling, design, and control. Immunology is the science of built-in defense mechanisms that are present in all living beings to protect against external attacks. A biological immune sy...
