Articulation and Clarification of the Dendric Cell Algorithm

Greensmith, Julie; Aickelin, Uwe; Twycross, Jamie

Abstract

The Dendritic Cell algorithm (DCA) is inspired by recent
work in innate immunity. In this paper a formal description of the DCA is given. The DCA is described in detail, and its use as an anomaly detector is illustrated within the context of computer security. A port scan detection task is performed to substantiate the influence of signal selection on the behaviour of the algorithm. Experimental results provide a comparison of differing input signal mappings.
