Conocimiento de Ciencias Naturales aplicado a la seguridad informatica - UADE Luis Bernardi

The use of the knowledge and understanding of natural sciences, in particular the human body, applied to computer security is an appealing concept for two reasons. Firstly, the human immune system provides the human body with a high level of protection from invading pathogens, in a robust, self-organised and distributed manner. Secondly, current techniques used in computer security are not able to cope with the dynamic and increasingly complex cyber threat landscape of computer systems. It is hoped that biologically inspired approaches in this area, including, but not limited, to the use of immune-based systems will be able to meet this challenge. Here I reviewed the research advances in several other related fields of studies. Hopefully, I will present ideas to further design and develop improved protection systems. I will provide an introduction and analysis of the key developments within these fields, in addition to making suggestions for future research.
