Self-heating architectures against malware propagation

Research and development of self-heating architectures and methodologies to enable fully-automated security-state monitoring with real-time remediation that minimises, reduces or eliminates the adverse impact on the overall system reliability, availability and safety. In particular the project will assess and develop strategies for fully decentralised monitoring and remediation malware infections. The focus will focus on the overall strategies that are appropriate for use in environments where the installation of resource-hungry anti-virus software is inappropriate. Techniques that involve non-invasive monitoring of netwrok traffic and low computational overhead monitoring of individual machines will be combined with immune system inspired architectures to provide a rapid response system that is capable of both detecting and removing malware from live natworked computer systems.
