Abstract

The Human Immune System (HIS) works to protect a body from infection, illness, and disease. This system can inspire cybersecurity professionals to design an Artificial Immune System (AIS) based Intrusion Detection System (IDS). These biologically inspired algorithms using Self/Nonself and Danger Theory can directly augmentIDS designs and implementations. In this paper, we include an examination into the elements of design necessary for building an AIS-IDS framework and present an architecture to create such systems.
