An intrusion detection & adaptive response mechanism for MANETs

Protection of MANETs from a range of attacks using an intrusion detection and prevention system

Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) are well known to be vulnerable to various attacks due to their lack of centralized control, and their dynamic topology and energy-constrained operation. Much research in securing MANETs has focused on proposals which detect and prevent a specific kind of attack such as sleep deprivation, black hole, grey hole, rushing or sybil attacks. In this paper we propose a...

An Elliptic Curve Cryptography Based Enhanced Adaptive Acknowledgment (ecc-eaack) Intrusion Detection System

MANET is a new wireless network technology increasingly used in many applications. These networks are more vulnerable to attacks than wired networks. Since they have different characteristics, conventional security techniques are not directly applicable to them. Intrusion detection system (IDS) is one of the most active fields of research in Mobile Ad-hoc Network’s (MANET) field. Researchers cu...

BeeID: intrusion detection in AODV-based MANETs using artificial Bee colony and negative selection algorithms

Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) are multi-hop wireless networks of mobile nodes constructed dynamically without the use of any fixed network infrastructure. Due to inherent characteristics of these networks, malicious nodes can easily disrupt the routing process. A traditional approach to detect such malicious network activities is to build a profile of the normal network traffic, and then iden...

Performance Enhancement of Intrusion Detection System Using Advance Adaptive EAACK for MANETs

Integration of mobility and intrusion detection for wireless ad hoc networks

One of the main challenges in building intrusion detection systems (IDSs) for mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) is to integrate mobility impacts and to adjust the behaviour of IDSs correspondingly. In this paper, we first introduce two different approaches, a Markov chain-based approach and a Hotelling’s T test based approach, to construct local IDSs for MANETs. We then demonstrate that nodes’ mo...
