A Survey of Attacks and Countermeasures in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks

TLDR
This chapter provides a survey of attacks and countermeasures in MANET and puts forward an overview of MANET intrusion detection systems (IDS), which are reactive approaches to thwart attacks and used as a second line of defense.
Abstract
Security is an essential service for wired and wireless network communications. The success of mobile ad hoc network (MANET) will depend on people ’s confidence in its security. However, the characteristics of MANET pose both challenges and opportunities in achieving security goals, such as confidentiality, authentication, integrity, availability, access control, and non-repudiation. We provide a survey of attacks and countermeasures in MANET in this chapter. The countermeasures are features or functions that reduce or eliminate security vulnerabilities and attacks. First, we give an overview of attacks according to the protocol layers, and to security attributes and mechanisms. Then we present preventive approaches following the order of the layered protocol layers. We also put forward an overview of MANET intrusion detection systems (IDS), which are reactive approaches to thwart attacks and used as a second line of defense.

Mitigating routing misbehavior in mobile ad hoc networks

TL;DR: Two techniques that improve throughput in an ad hoc network in the presence of nodes that agree to forward packets but fail to do so are described, using a watchdog that identifies misbehaving nodes and a pathrater that helps routing protocols avoid these nodes.

Securing ad hoc networks

TL;DR: This article takes advantage of the inherent redundancy in ad hoc networks-multiple routes between nodes-to defend routing against denial-of-service attacks and uses replication and new cryptographic schemes to build a highly secure and highly available key management service, which terms the core of this security framework.

Optimized Link State Routing Protocol

TL;DR: Urethane prepolymer compositions are made from 1- isocyanato-3-isocyanatomethyl-3,5,5-trimethyl cyclohexane and polyols at a total NCO to OH ratio of at least 1.2:1, and the prepolymers are reacted with cycloaliphatic polyamines to give urea-urethanes.
