Performance Comparison of Secure Communication in Mobile Ad Hoc NETwork Using Intrusion Detection Techniques

Abstract

In recent years, wireless networks are the key concern in communication field. Mobile Ad Hoc NETwork (MANET) comprised number of wireless nodes to communicate with each other for information exchange. MANET is temporary network constructed for particular purpose and no need of any pre-established infrastructure. MANET became well-liked technology due to its flexibility for various applications. The flexibility brings new security threats in MANET. Intrusion detection system used to identify and prevent the security attacks at different levels. IDS needed continuous monitoring which resulted in fast exhaustion of node battery life. Many researchers introduced different intrusion detection techniques for detecting the attacks variants. But, the energy consumption and intrusion detection performance was not improved. In order to address these problems, the existing intrusion detection techniques are reviewed.
