Intrusion Detection Techniques with Their Security Mechanisms for Mobile Ad Hoc Networks

Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) have emerged as a tremendous wireless networking technology. MANETs are scalable and does not require a fixed architecture .nodes of the network plays the dual role as the transmitter and as the receiver. The self configuring ability has made MANETs useful in various applications such as military use and emergency recovery. Within the same communication range nodes communicate with each other directly .otherwise they rely on others for message passing. The open medium and the wide distribution of nodes made MANETs vulnerable to malicious attackers. As MANETs have limited resources so a technique should be applied that is efficient in finding intrusions and it should provide security simultaneously. Keeping in mind that network overhead and flooding of packets should not occur.
