Survey Analysis on Immunological Approach to Intrusion Detection

Abstract

This paper evaluates the correlation between the immune system of human and systems which detects intrusion. Intrusion is an unofficial and not permitted access or action in a computer system. For detection of any of these malicious activities and for security of our computer systems, Intrusion detection technologies are becoming extremely important. The paper initiates by introducing intrusion detection systems and its types. An outline of the immune system of human is presented and the prominent features which are beneficial to the design of Intrusion detection system are analyzed. Researchers are always inspired by environment. Security of computer is no exclusion. Artificial Immune system provoked from Natural Immune system works proficiently for detecting any outer threat in a network. Human body provides two levels of defense against any foreign body. The primary layer of defense is Innate Immune system and the secondary is Adaptive Immune system.
