Immunity-based Method for Anti-Spam Model

Widespread information technique use has led to the emergence of email networks large-scale applications networks in cyberspace. But the traditional spam solutions for anti-spam are mostly static methods, and the means of adaptive and real time analyses the mail are seldom considered. Inspired by the theory of artificial immune systems (AIS), a novel distributed anti-spam model that leverages e-mail networks' topological properties is presented. The concepts and formal definitions of immune cells are given, and dynamically evaluative equations for self, antigen, immune tolerance, mature-lymphocyte lifecycle are presented, and the hierarchical and distributed management framework of the proposed model are built. The experimental results show that the proposed model has the features of real-time processing and more efficient than client-server-based solutions, thus providing a promising solution for anti-spam system.
