What is False Negatives

The need for effective, optimal, and adaptive intrusion detection systems that fit wireless networks' requirements caused agent-based intrusion detection systems to prevail though the complexity and challenges entailed by their deployment. This chapter presents the recent achievements in terms of the proposed frameworks, architectures, and implementations for the application of agent technology to intrusion detection in wireless networks. The chapter highlights their main features, strengths, and limitations. It also discusses the main issues that most existing works do not address like IDS security and proposes solutions to cope with some of the presented problems.
