Definition
Intrusion detection in ad hoc networks is a type of defense mechanism that monitors, collects, and analyzes activity information of mobile ad hoc nodes in order to detect intrusive actions.
Background
Intrusion detection is one of the mechanisms to protect a system. It captures the current user activities in a system and compares them with past user behavior profiles, known attack patterns, or predefined system specifications. An intrusion is detected in the presence of a deviation of normal user activities, a match of known attack patterns, or an operation not following system specifications. Upon detecting an intrusion, intrusion detection systems (IDSs) may further alert and trigger the response mechanisms of the system to counteract the intrusion and minimize the damage.
Many IDSs deployed in wired networks are built-in devices that are trustable and can capture and inspect traffic directly. However, ad hoc networks do not support the...
