Abstract:
In view of the recent advances of communication and information technology along with the growing need for
online networking, computer security has become a challenge to almost all the studies that have been carried out in this
research axis. So far, various tools and mechanisms have been developed in order to guarantee a safety level up to the
requirements of modern life. Among these, intrusion detection and prevention systems (IDPS) tend to locate activities or
abnormal behaviors suspect to be detrimental to the correct operation of the system. In this respect, this work targets the
design and the realization of an IDPS inspired from natural immune systems. The study of biological systems along with the
study of artificial intelligence have inspired a great deal of works, which have targeted the resolution of computer science
problems, and has given rise to robust and effective methods by their natural function. The immune systems have aroused the
interest of researchers in the intrusion detection field, taking into account the similarities of NIS (Natural Immune System)
and IDPS objectives.

Within the framework of this work, we conceived an IDPS inspired from natural immune system and implemented by using a
directed approach. A platform was developed and tests were carried out in order to assess our system performances.
