Application of artificial immune systems for the creation of IoT intrusion detection systems

Abstract

The advances made in the field of IoT in recent years implore us to take a closer look at the security challenges it presents. Due to its ubiquitous nature and high heterogeneity of the connected devices and communication protocols a novel approach must be taken. This papers aim is to make a brief review of the work done in the areas of Negative Selection and Danger Theory and to do a comparative analysis of the available solutions. Furthermore, the most prominent characteristic an artificial immune system must attain in order to conform to the unique security requirements put forward by the IoT are identified.
