The migration to wireless network from wired network has been a global trend in the past few decades. The mobility and scalability brought by wireless network made it possible in many applications. Among all the contemporary wireless networks, Mobile Ad hoc NETwork (MANET) is one of the most important and unique applications. On the contrary to traditional network architecture, MANET does not require a fixed network infrastructure; every single node works as both a transmitter and a receiver. Nodes communicate directly with each other when they are both within the same communication range. Otherwise, they rely on their neighbors to relay messages. The self-configuring ability of nodes in MANET made it popular among critical mission applications like military use or emergency recovery. However, the open medium and wide distribution of nodes make MANET vulnerable to malicious attackers. In this case, it is crucial to develop efficient intrusion-detection mechanisms to protect MANET from attacks. With the improvements of the technology and cut in hardware costs, we are witnessing a current trend of expanding MANETs into industrial applications. To adjust to such trend, we strongly believe that it is vital to address its potential security issues. In this paper, we propose and implement a new intrusion-detection system named Enhanced Adaptive ACKnowledgment (EAACK) specially designed for MANETs. Compared to contemporary approaches, EAACK demonstrates higher malicious-behavior-detection rates in certain circumstances while does not greatly affect the network performances.

Requirements Engineering A Good Practice Guide

MANETs have unique characteristics like dynamic topology, wireless radio medium, limited resources and lack of centralized administration, as a result, they are vulnerable to different types of attacks in different layers of protocol stack. Each node in a MANET is capable of acting as a router. Routing is one of the aspects having various security concerns. In this paper, we will present survey of common Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks on network layer namely Wormhole attack, Black hole attack and Gray hole attack which are serious threats for MANETs. We will also discuss some proposed solutions to detect and prevent these attacks. As MANETs are widely used in many vital applications, lots of research work has to be done to find efficient solutions against these DoS attacks that can work for different routing protocols.

In privacy preserving data mining, the -diversity and -anonymity models are the most widely used for preserving the sensitive private information of an individual. Out of these two, -diversity model gives better privacy and lesser information loss as compared to the -anonymity model. In addition, we observe that numerous clustering algorithms have been proposed in data mining, namely, -means, PSO, ACO, and BFO. Amongst them, the BFO algorithm is more stable and faster as compared to all others except -means. However, BFO algorithm suffers from poor convergence behavior as compared to other optimization algorithms. We also observed that the current literature lacks any approaches that apply BFO with -diversity model to realize privacy preservation in data mining. Motivated by this observation, we propose here an approach that uses fractional calculus (FC) in the chemotaxis step of the BFO algorithm. The FC is used to boost the computational performance of the algorithm. We also evaluate our proposed FC-BFO and BFO algorithms empirically, focusing on information loss and execution time as vital metrics. The experimental evaluation shows that our proposed FC-BFO algorithm derives an optimal cluster as compared to the original BFO algorithm and existing clustering algorithms.

A Clustering Approach for the -Diversity Model in Privacy Preserving Data Mining Using Fractional Calculus-Bacterial Foraging Optimization Algorithm

Requirements Engineering is one of the most vital activities in the entire Software Development Life Cycle. The success of the software is largely dependent on how well the users' requirements have been understood and converted into appropriate functionalities in the software. Typically, the users convey their requirements in natural language statements that initially appear easy to state. However, being stated in natural language, the statement of requirements often tends to suffer from misinterpretations and imprecise inferences. As a result, the requirements specified thus, may lead to ambiguities in the software specifications. One can indeed find numerous approaches that deal with ensuring precise requirement specifications. Naturally, an obvious approach to deal with ambiguities in natural language software specifications is to eliminate ambiguities altogether i.e. to use formal specifications. However, the formal methods have been observed to be cost-effective largely for the development of mission-critical software. Due to the technical sophistication required, these are yet to be accepted in the mainstream. Hence, the other alternative is to let the ambiguities exist in the natural language requirements but deal with the same using proven techniques viz. using approaches based on machine learning, knowledge and ontology to resolve them. One can indeed find numerous automated and semi-automated tools to resolve specific types of natural language software requirement ambiguities. However, to the best of our knowledge there is no published literature that attempts to compare and contrast the prevalent approaches to deal with ambiguities in natural language software requirements. Hence, in this paper, we attempt to survey and analyze the prevalent approaches that attempt to resolve ambiguities in natural language software requirements. We focus on presenting a state-of-the-art survey of the currently available tools for ambiguity resolution. The objective of this paper is to disseminate, dissect and analyze the research work published in the area, identify metrics for a comparative evaluation and eventually do the same. At the end, we identify open research issues with an aim to spark new interests and developments in this field.

Resolving Ambiguities in Natural Language Software Requirements: A Comprehensive Survey

Due to wireless communication, dynamic topology, limited resources and lack of centralized administration, MANETs are vulnerable to various types of DoS attacks on network layer. In Gray hole and Black hole attacks malicious nodes deliberately disrupt data transmission in the network by sending incorrect routing information. It is a challenge to keep the communication route free from such attackers. In this paper, we propose a scheme for Ad-hoc On-demand Distance Vector (AODV) protocol, in which an intermediate node detects the malicious node sending false routing information, routing packets are used not only to pass routing information, but also to pass information about malicious nodes. The proposed scheme not only detects but also removes malicious node by isolating it, to make safe and secure communication.

A Novel Approach for GrayHole and BlackHole Attacks in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks

Ensuring communications security in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) indeed is critical; due to the criticality of the resources in the sensor nodes as well as due to their ubiquitous and pervasive deployment, with varying attributes and degrees of security required The proliferation of the next generation sensor nodes, has not solved this problem, because of the greater emphasis on low-cost deployment In addition, the WSNs use data-centric multi-hop communication that in turn, necessitates the security support to be devised at the link layer (increasing the cost of security related operations), instead of being at the application layer, as in general networks Therefore, an energy-efficient link layer security framework is necessitated There do exists a number of link layer security architectures that offer some combinations of the security attributes desired by different WSN applications However, as we show in this paper, none of them is responsive to the actual security demands of the applications Therefore, we believe that there is a need for investigating the feasibility of a configurable software-based link layer security architecture wherein an application can be compiled flexibly, with respect to its actual security demands In this paper, we analyze, propose and experiment with the basic design of such configurable link layer security architecture for WSNs We also experimentally evaluate various aspects related to our scheme viz configurable block ciphers, configurable block cipher modes of operations, configurable MAC sizes and configurable replay protection The architecture proposed is aimed to offer the optimal level of security at the minimal overhead, thus saving the precious resources in the WSNs
