Abstract:

Mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs) have become the environment of choice for providing edge connectivity to mobile forces. In particular, next-generation military systems leverage MANET technology to provide information assets to troops. However, MANETs face a number of serious security exposures, which are a superset of traditional networks. In prior work, we have described BITSI, the Biologically-Inspired Tactical Security Infrastructure, which attempts to address these challenges. BITSI uses a variety of techniques inspired by biological systems to provide effect-based security that is centered upon mission enablement. One of these techniques is the application of danger theory to mission continuity. In this paper, we explore different ways of implementing danger detection within BITSI, and show how generic approaches that are low-cost both computationally and in terms of implementation can provide acceptable results.
