Intrusion Detection For Mobile Ad-Hoc Network

Abstract: Mobile ad-hoc networks (MANET) are the networks which uses the wireless medium for communication ,every node is free to either join or leave the network and the nodes in such a network have no fixed topology, the topology changes with time as the nodes move from one place to another. So in such a network, security can be easily compromised as the attacker can introduce its malicious node in the network and can degrade the network performance. As a result there is a need of an intrusion detection system. This paper describes a scheme that will detect the intrusion in the network and will help improve the network performance in the presence of malicious node.
