Using Artificial Immune System on Implementation of Intrusion Detection Systems

Security is vital to computer networks. IDSs (intrusion detection systems) are one of the important building blocks of a secure, reliable network and are used widely along with the other security programs and concepts. As the time passes, their importance becomes clearer. Recently, there have been some interesting researches on biological immune systems as a model for intrusion detection. In this article we describe IDS, including an overview of its types, techniques, and explore different IDS designs based on biologically inspired artificial intelligence concept: artificial immune system (AIS), which can be a future direction in IDS designing field. We also discuss some newer topics in this field like danger theory.
