Abstract :
We review two key mechanisms of the biological immune system (BIS): costimulation and priming. Then we explain the relevance of these two mechanisms for misbehavior detection in ad hoc wireless networks. We argue that costimulation and priming can not only increase the reliability and robustness of misbehavior detection but also help increase the energy efficiency. We conclude by giving an outlook on future research related to the design of security protocols inspired by the efficiency of the BIS.
