Dendritic cell algorithm module with inflammatory inter-node signaling

摘要

Artificial Immune Systems (AIS) including the Dendritic Cell Algorithm (DCA) are an emerging method to detect malware in computer systems. An implementation of the DCA may detect anomalous behavior in various embedded network systems. Unlike previous approaches, the DCA implementation may use an inflammation signal to communicate information among the nodes of a distributed or centralized network, where the inflammatory signal indicates a likelihood to the connected nodes that a local node has been attacked by malicious software.

1. A system comprising:
a local node; one or more connected nodes linked to the local node; and a Dendritic Cell Algorithm (DCA) module in the local node, the DCA module comprising an inflammatory signal indicating a likelihood to the connected nodes that the local node has been attacked by malicious software.
