Abstract

Intrusion/misuse detection is the top information assurance priority of both the national interagency INFOSEC Research Council and the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense. Traditional IDSs are effective at detecting known attacks; however, developing truly proactive defensive systems remains an open problem. This research investigates the feasibility of using evolutionary search techniques, in the context of a computer immune system, to detect computer network intrusions, with particular emphasis on developing techniques for catching new attacks. The system provided very low false-negative and false-positive error rates during initial experimentation.
