“…If we are able to achieve this, we will be successful fighting the digital virus. Talukder, Rao, Kapoor and Sharma (2004) reported some encouraging results for 2 nd generation virus containment in a data network through AH. In the next section we discuss the philosophy of non-proliferation of the virus in cellular networks.…”

Viruses, worms, Trojan horses, spywares have been effective for quite sometime in the domain of digital computers. These malicious software cause millions of dollars of loss in assets, revenue, opportunity, cleanup cost, and lost productivity. To stop virus attacks, organizations frame up different security policies. These policies work only within the limited domain of the organization's network. However, the emergence of wireless technologies, and the seamless mobility features of the wireless devices from one network to the other have created a challenge to uphold the security policies of a particular network. Hence, in this digital society, while mobile devices roam in foreign networks, they get infected through viruses in the foreign network. Anti-virus software is not so effective for novel viruses. There have been no reports of mobile-phone viruses in the wild as yet. However, with the emergence of execution environments on mobile phones, it will be possible to write viruses and worms for mobile devices in cellular networks. We should be prepared to fight against viruses in the cellular networks. All the technologies available to fight against viruses are specific to virus signatures. We propose that this fight needs to be multilayered. In this paper the authors have proposed a novel philosophy in cellular network called Artificial Hygiene (AH), which is virus neutral and will work at the class level. With this process a device and the network will take the necessary steps to keep the digital environment safe.

“…In this work I introduce the philosophy of hygiene for digital systems. We call this philosophy "Artificial Hygiene" [1] (AH) for the digital society. Because it is only a digital device that can function as a carrier for digital virus, it must necessarily participate in the mechanism to prevent spread of viruses.…”

“…Prof Asoke K Talukder has proposed Artificial Hygiene for email malwares in the paper "Artificial hygiene: a critical step towards safety from email viruses" [1], in which he classified the malwares into different categories and proposed a model which specify which malware lies in which category. He totally stick on email viruses and said nothing about the viruses from other medium.…”

Artificial Hygiene is the thought taken from the concept of hygiene in daily life. Hygiene is an old concept related to medical, as well as to personal and professional practices that are taken to be care related to most aspects of living. Hygiene practices that are employed as preventative measures to less incidence and spreading of disease, like hand hygiene cleaning the hands before taking food, respiratory hygiene covering the face with hands or hanky on sneezing, food and water hygiene-always put the food and drinking water covered, etc. so hygiene can also be applied on computer machines. So in Computer network, if a system in network is infected the artificial hygiene should ensure that unauthorized or malicious traffic never leaves the infected system/host to other in a network. Hygiene refers to the set of rules that an individual follows in a community to be associated with the preservation of healthy living for whole community that avoid or reduce disease and the spreading of disease in social society. Periodical hygienenical habits may be considered good practices by a society while the neglect of hygiene can be considered disgusting, disrespectful or even threatening. So for this we have to give some rules that an individual computer have to follow to impart hygiene to computers society that means computer network so that the system know how to behave against threat to protect itself as well as help others on the network so that other can also protect themselves from the threat.
