Immune approach to the protection of IoT devices

Abstract

This paper presents an immune approach for securing different types of devices connected to network. This also applies to the technology, called Internet of things (IoT), which growing rapidly from year to year. It was developed to help people in everyday life, to make our life easier. However, such systems of interrelated computing devices with the ability to transfer data over a network is exposed to various types of attacks. Hacker can take the control over the each device connected to the network. As a result, for example, heating system can be switched on at the summer time, a refrigerator do redundant purchases, etc. To fix this problem, we propose to apply our hybrid immune-based algorithm, called b-v model, embedded in a reprogrammable FPGA. It base on negative selection which is suitable to protect a huge amount of devices.
