Abstract

A virus detection model based on artificial immune principles with real-valued negative selection (RVNS) is proposed. Feature vectors of program code are mapped into high dimension real-valued space. The architecture of this model, the formal definitions of self, nonself, antigen, antibody, and gene library are given. Then the process of self-tolerance of variable-sized detectors in real-valued space is discussed in detail. Variable-sized detectors provide concise representation of the detectors derived from benign files, which reduces the size of detectors set and advances the detection rate. The experimental results show that the model can detect obfuscated and firstly unknown virus more effectively than traditional model.
