Mobile Ad Hoc Networks are vulnerable to security attacks that aim at disrupting routing information, exhausting nodes resources, maliciously manipulating data traffic etc. Construction of security mechanisms for Mobile Ad Hoc Networks is complicated by the fact that they lack a network infrastructure and a central authority for authentication and distribution of cryptographic keys. In this paper is presented a theoretical model of an Artificial Immune System inspired by the vertebrate immune system. The objective of the proposed AIS is protection and reaction against known and unknown dysfunctions or attacks in a Mobile Ad Hoc Network that uses IPv6 addresses. This AIS also includes features inspired by Danger Theory, one of the latest immunological findings and a point of hot debate in the area of immunology. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2006.
