| Summary: | This paper presents a new framework for
securing mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs). The
framework attempts to motivate some human immune
features and properties to build a robust security system.
The human immune system (HIS) is a compound of
molecules, cells, and organs which has established to
perform several defensive tasks. New computational
techniques are being developed based on the immune
system concepts, seeking to solve several engineering
problems. On the other hand, mobile ad hoc networks
(MANETs) have no clear line of defense and not fixed
infrastructure; therefore, the known security techniques
used for cabled networks might not work perfectly. A
security framework based on immune inspired properties
and features are presented. A mobile agent system has
been used to map different immune components and
properties. Distributed detection, first response, second
response, self recovery, adaptability, and danger theory
are the hallmarks of the proposed security architecture. |
