Abstract

Abstract:
Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is an advanced computer network which depends on
mobile communications. It can be applied for data acquisition in hazardous, home and
office environments so that securing working environment for WSN is necessary. Due
to inherent limitations in wireless sensor network (limited processing power, storages
and energy), security for these sensor networks is not easy. Since sensor networks pose
unique challenges, traditional security techniques cannot be applied directly. Intrusion
Detection System (IDS) is a must for this critical application. Providing adaptive new
intrusion detection systems remain a challenging research problem. In this paper we
develop an intrusion detection system that is inspired by the Biological Immune System
(BIS).
The idea is to map BIS elements for the detection system in WSN. For examples, the
human body is mapped to the entire wireless sensor network; Self cells are mapped to
well behaving nodes and non-self cells are mapped to misbehaving nodes, etc. In this
proposal we present the integration of some useful immunological function to
develop a robust and intelligent detection system.
Artificial Immune System (AIS) is applied in this paper toward developing
secured wireless sensor networks using intelligent technology. As a result of
using AIS to build IDS the WSN become more secure and immune.
