Abstract
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 processes of a device or devices. Unlike previous approaches, the DCA implementation may use an inflammation signal to communicate information among the processes of device or a network, where the inflammatory signal indicates a likelihood that a process has been attacked by malicious software.
