A review of intrution detection system architectures in mobile ad hoc networks

Abstract

Mobile ad hoc network (MANET) faces serious security threat due to lack of consideration of security in design and inherent weaknesses. Many intrusion detection techniques as well as preventive measures are in urgent need to protect ad hoc network. This paper reviewed different categories of intrusion detection techniques proposed by different authors. The paper also looked at different types of intruders, the routing protocols in MANET, and then reviewed intrusion detection system architectures as proposed by different authors in past and finally made some recommendations.
