Abstract

Consider an analogy when dealing with human diseases, when a person discovers something different happening to him/her, a common course of action is to know if others have experienced the same thing. In this paper we propose a design for an integrity system for a connected network that attempts to measure the degree of infection of a system on the network using an epidemiological model. Furthermore we present the outcome of simulations that model the process of infection over a network and show how the infectiousness degree of a program varies with parameter values of the model.
