Abstract

Application of mechanisms of immune memory in the computer security domain allows to increase performance of certain class of security systems that are based on detection of attacks without a priori knowledge of attack’s technique. Immune memory should enable the system to memorise once encountered attacks and prevent it together with its consequences in the future. The use of agent technologies gives new possibilities in the management of stored attack’s patterns — patterns of obsolete attacks should be deleted but those of new and frequent should be maintained and generalised. In this paper ideas from agent technology and immune memory domain are introduced into computer security, tested and discussed.
