Abstract

A new mechanism for generating agents, modeled on the immune system, has been incorporated into our previous immunity-based system for detecting masqueraders. Akin to T cells in the thymus, the agents capable of recognizing self from nonself, or legitimate users from masqueraders, are positively selected, while those that cannot are annihilated. In our experiments, our new system was better than our previous system at detecting external masqueraders. We also discuss the diversity and specificity of the agents.
