Abstract

Intrusion detection in ad hoc networks is a challenge because of the inherent characteristics of these networks, such as, the absence of centralized nodes, the lack of infrastructure, and so forth. Furthermore, in addition to application-based attacks, ad hoc networks are prone to attacks targeting routing protocols. Issues in intrusion detection in ad hoc networks are addressed by numerous research proposals in literature. In this chapter, we first enumerate the properties of ad hoc networks which hinder intrusion detection systems. After that, significant intrusion detection system (IDS) architectures and methodologies proposed in the literature are elucidated. Strengths and weaknesses of these works are studied and are explained. Finally, the future directions which will lead to the successful deployment of intrusion detection in ad hoc networks are discussed.
