Intrusion detection in wireless ad-hoc networks

TLDR
This paper examines the vulnerabilities of a wireless ad-hoc network, the reason why intrusion detection is needed, and the reasons why the current methods cannot be applied directly, and describes the new intrusion detection and response mechanisms that are developing for wirelessAd-Hoc networks.
Abstract
As the recent denial-of-service attacks on several major Internet sites have shown us, no open computer network is immune from intrusions. The wireless ad-hoc network is particularly vulnerable due to its features of open medium, dynamic changing topology, cooperative algorithms, lack of centralized monitoring and management point, and lack of a clear line of defense. Many of the intrusion detection techniques developed on a fixed wired network are not applicable in this new environment. How to do it differently and effectively is a challenging research problem. In this paper, we first examine the vulnerabilities of a wireless ad-hoc network, the reason why we need intrusion detection, and the reason why the current methods cannot be applied directly. We then describe the new intrusion detection and response mechanisms that we are developing for wireless ad-hoc networks.

Dynamic Source Routing in Ad Hoc Wireless Networks.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a protocol for routing in ad hoc networks that uses dynamic source routing, which adapts quickly to routing changes when host movement is frequent, yet requires little or no overhead during periods in which hosts move less frequently.

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.
