A Virus Detection Model Based on Artificial immunity System

Huakang Xing, Zhengmin Li, Zhengping Jin

Abstract— Many new research of virus detection appeared with the development of machine learning and artificial intelligence. The biggest drawback of traditional virus detection methods is that it’s powerless for unknown viruses and new varieties detection. This situation is gradually improved owing to the introduction of intelligent learning algorithm. Anyway, the existing virus detection methods still have some problems such as low detection rate and poor ability of anti-obfuscation. In order to solve these problems, this paper proposed a virus detection model based on artificial immune system and sub-graph pattern mining. First of all, we extract the semantic features of malicious files by unpacking process, static analysis and call graph construction. Then, convert it to DFS code Graph and carry on pattern sub-graph mining to get virus candidate feature library. Finally, use the negative selection algorithm to deal with the virus candidate feature library of malicious files and the feature database of benign files to get virus feature library. The experimental results show that the model has a high ACC value for unknown viruses and new varieties, with an average of over 97%.
