Immune Inspired Framework for MANETs’ Security

-As a comprehensive security system, researchers
recently had turned to the human immune system as a very
wealthy inspiration source. DNA computation, evolutionary
computation, artificial neural networks, and artificial
immune systems are some of the researcher interest which
can be pointed out. By means of diverse kind of cells,
molecules, and mechanisms, the immune system efficiently
protects the human body against different kinds of attacks.
Many immune-inspired techniques have been developed
with the aim to settle different engineering computer
problems. Networking security is representing one of the
most significant fields that immune-inspired techniques
have been applied to. Given that mobile ad hoc networks
have a decentralized nature more similar to the human
immune system (HIS); immune-inspired security
architecture is highly expected to come across different ad
hoc security problems; one of which is the malicious node
that can disrupt the routing process, masquerade the
legitimate nodes, and impersonate the trusted nodes. In this
paper, immune-inspired security architecture for
stimulating a number of HIS processes for securing mobile
ad hoc networks has been presented. Both, the negative
selection and danger theory techniques have been combined
along with many other inspired processes so as to come up
with scalable a d robust system. Distributability, second
response, self recovery, is the hallmarks of the proposed
architecture which put a consideration on high nodes
