Intrusion Detection in Wireless Mesh Networks

Wireless mesh networks are potentially vulnerable to a broad variety of attacks. Hence security is an important consideration for the practical operation of wireless mesh networks. Within security, intrusion detection is the first line of defense in wireless networks as well as wired networks. Unfortunately, wireless mesh networks presents additional challenges due to their decentralized nature, dynamic network topology, and easy access to the radio medium. Due to these unique challenges, intrusion detection techniques can not be borrowed straightforwardly from wired networks. New distributed intrusion detection schemes must be
