A Review on Intrusion Detection System based on Artificial Immune System

Abstract

Various approaches from different fields have been proposed to improve the security of computer system. One such approach is Intrusion detection system monitors computer system in real-time for activities indicating attempted or actual access by unauthorised users. To build an effective intrusion detection system many techniques are available which gathers and analyze information from different areas within a computer system or network and identify various security threats, including both intrusions anomaly i.e. attacks from outside the organization and misuse i.e. attacks from within the organization. Artificial Immune System (AIS) which is inspired by the robust and flexible nature of Human Immune System (HIS) can be incorporated in current Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) thereby improving their efficiency and performance. This paper gives a review of various artificial immune system approaches that can be used for the development of an Intrusion Detection System. General TermsIntrusion Detection System (IDS).
