Immune-Inspired Framework for securing Hybrid MANET

A malicious node in mobile ad hoc networks
(MANETs) can falsify a route advertisement, overwhelming
traffic without forwarding it, helps in forwarding corrupted
data, and injecting of false or uncompleted information.
Mapping immune system security mechanisms to
networking security can powerfully contribute in securing
MANETs, since both are sharing some similar features
because of the distributability environment in each. In a
step for providing secured and reliable broadband services,
formal specification logic along with a novel Immuneinspired
security framework (I2MANETs) have been
introduced. The different immune components
synchronized to the framework through an agent that has
the ability to replicate, monitor, detect, classify, and
block/isolate the corrupted packets and/or nodes in a
federated domain. The framework functions as the Human
Immune System in: first response, second response,
adaptability, distributability, survivability and other
immune features. The I2MANETs can basically installed in
one node in the domain, then automatically spread to the
rest of the domain.
