Abstract
Artificial Immune Systems (AISs) and Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) are two up to date attractive technologies. AIS is utilized to introduce efficient intrusion detection algorithms to secure both host based and network based systems, whilst MANET is defined as a collection of mobile, decentralized, and self organized nodes. Securing MANET is a problem which adds more challenges on the research. This is because MANET properties make it harder to be secured than the other types of static networks. We claim that AIS properties as robust, self-healing, and self-organizing system can meet the challenges of securing MANET environment. This paper objective is to utilize the benefits of one of the Danger Theory based AIS intrusion detection algorithms, namely the Dendritic Cell Algorithm (DCA) to detect a type of Denial of Service (DoS) attack called Resource Consumption Attack (RCA) and also called sleep deprivation attack over MANET. The paper introduces a Mobile Dendritic Cell Algorithm (MDCA) architecture in which DCA plugged to be applied by each MANET node.
