Abstract :
In this paper, the life characteristics of a computer virus and algorithm characteristics are studied. A evolution model of computer virus based on immune genetic algorithm, which draws inspirations from artificial life, is proposed. The formal definition of computer virus is introduced, and the evolution operators which include selection operator, crossover operator, mutation operator and immune operator are presented. It reveals that computer virus is a possible form of the characteristics of biological evolution. The simulation experiments were conducted and it indicates that computer viruses have enormously potential capability of self-propagation and self-evolution. Computer viruses have the characteristics of biological evolution, and the model can provides research thinking for anti-virus technology to improve and enhance.
