Recent investigations into proactive network defense have not produced a systematic methodology and structure; in addition, issues including multi-source information fusion and attacking behavior analysis have not been resolved. Borrowing ideas of danger sensing and immune response from danger theory, a proactive network defense model based on danger theory is proposed. This paper defines the s...

We present ideas about creating a next generation Intrusion Detection System (IDS) based on the latest immunological theories. The central challenge with computer security is determining the difference between normal and potentially harmful activity. For half a century, developers have protected their systems by coding rules that identify and block specific events. However, the nature of curren...

Artificial Immune Systems (AISs) are a type of intelligent algorithm inspired by the principles and processes of the human immune system. Despite the successful implementation of different AISs, the validity of the paradigm "self non self" have lifted many questions. The Danger theory was an alternative to this paradigm. If we involve its principles, the AIS is being applied as a classifier. Ho...

Sterile injury can cause a systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) that resembles the host response during sepsis. The inflammatory response following trauma comprises various systems of the human body which are cross-linked with each other within a highly complex network of inflammation. Endogenous danger signals (danger-associated molecular patterns; DAMPs; alarmins) as well as exogeno...

According to the propagation and destruction characteristics of mobile phone viruses, a virus detection model based on the Danger Theory is proposed. This model includes four phases: danger capture, antigen presentation, antibody generation and antibody distribution. In this model, local knowledge of mobile phones is exploited by the agents that are running in mobile phones to discover danger c...

An artificial immune system algorithm, based on the Danger Theory, is an algorithm which emulates, in a computational context, the defense mechanism of the human immune system when presented with a danger to its wellbeing. Over its evolution the human immune system has developed a complex defense mechanism against entities which are harmful to the human body. This system is divided into two sub...

The insect immune response can be activated by the recognition of both non-self and molecular by-products of tissue damage. Since pathogens and tissue damage usually arise at the same time during infection, the specific mechanisms of the immune response to microorganisms, and to tissue damage have not been unraveled. Consequently, some aspects of damage caused by microorganisms in vector-borne ...
