Abstract: | Analogies with immunology represent an important step toward the vision of robust, distributed protection for computers. Natural immune systems protect animals from dangerous foreign pathogenes, including bacteria, viruses, parasites, and toxines. Their role in the body is analogous to that of computer security systems in computing. Although there are many differences between living organisms and computers, the similarities are compelling and could point the way to improved computer security. |
