Abstract

In this paper, considering that reassembly of a system and/or using anti-virus software will take a period of time, we introduce a time delay for modeling this period of time. Also, considering that at different times the propagation of a worm shows different characteristics, we build a section model for Internet worm propagation depending on a two-factor model. We first consider the stability of the positive equilibrium and the existence of a local Hopf bifurcation. In succession, using the normal form theory and center manifold argument, we derive explicit formulas determining the stability, direction and other properties of bifurcation periodic solutions. Finally, a numerical simulation is presented. The techniques of analysis of the mathematical model provide a theoretical foundation for control and forecasting for Internet worms.
