Bio-inspired cyber security for communications and networking

Nature is Earth's most amazing invention machine for solving problems and adapting to significant environmental changes. Its ability to address complex, large-scale problems with robust, adaptable, and efficient solutions results from many years of selection, genetic drift, and mutations. Thus, it is not surprising that inventors and researchers often look to natural systems for inspiration and methods to solve problems in human-created artificial environments. This has resulted in the development of evolutionary algorithms including genetic algorithms and swarm algorithms, and of classifier and pattern detection algorithms, such as neural networks, for addressing hard computational problems.
