Intrusion detection is one of challenging issues in wireless networks. The inherently vulnerable characteristics of wireless mobile ad hoc networks make them susceptible to attacks in-spite of some security measures, and it may be too late before any counter action can take effect. As such, there is a need to complement security mechanisms with efficient intrusion detection and response systems. This paper proposes an agent-based model to address the aspect of intrusion detection in cluster based Mobile ad hoc network environment. The model comprises of mobile agents, which are used to detect intrusions, respond to intrusions, mainly preventing the routing attacks while securing them and distributing selected and aggregated intrusion information to all other nodes in the network in an intelligent manner to compensate the attack. The model is simulated to test its operation effectiveness by considering various performance parameters such as, packet delivery ratio, communication overhead, throughput. It implements a secure detection and prevention technique that contains the Blowfish algorithm which is a symmetric encryption and decryption algorithm having a secure standard till date against attacks to make the network transmission secure while monitoring malicious nodes and preventing them from compromising the integrity of the network. Agent based approach facilitates flexible and adaptable security services. Also, it supports component based software engineering components such as maintainability, reachability, reusability, adaptability, and flexibility.

Abstract MANET (Mobile Ad-hoc Networks) are distributed or delegated away from a central server, authoritative location of wireless networks that communicate without pre-existing structure. Ad-hoc networks are compromising the many types of attacks and routing. In MANET, the routing plays a vital role in terms of packets interaction and data transmission. Due to decentralized control, the MANET data transmission becomes insecure because of dispersed routing on the mobile ad-hoc nodes. Since the efficient route on MANET only controls the packets and does not simplify the route between the source to the destination, the maintenance of route interaction becomes a crucial process. Maintain effective data transactions over the MANET network, and it is essential to improve the route and locate the attacker. Nevertheless, MANET allows for route interaction against security threads. In this research article, four processing schemes are suggested to preserve the security measures against routing protocols. Especially in node communication, the rushing attacker has a significant impact on packet-based data transmission in MANET. Also, for this research, an Attacker detection automation of the Bees Colony Optimization (ADABCP) method is used, as a result of which the desired result is brought about in the effective attacker detection on the routing process. Moreover, the proposed Hybrid Random Late Detection (HRLD) routing protocol manages the MANET routing and overcomes the MANET congestion communication. The Swift Implicit Response Round Trip Time (SIRT) mechanism is generated by the Route Finding Manipulation (RFM) to enhance the performance. This RFM scheme helps to find the optimal routing in a secured manner. The proposed (SIRT-ADABCP-HRLD) approach was compared to the existing ESCT, ZRDM-LFPM, and ENM-LAC approaches, found to have improved by routing and data transmission. Compared to the conventional method, the method mentioned above achieves a better ratio for the end-to-end delay, communication overhead, packet delivery ratio, network lifetime, and energy consumption.

Intrusion detection has over the last few years, assumed paramount importance within the broad realm of network security, more so in case of wireless mobile ad hoc networks. The inherently vulnerable characteristics of wireless mobile ad hoc networks make them susceptible to attacks in-spite of some security measures, and it may be too late before any counter action can take effect. As such, there is a need to complement traditional security mechanisms with efficient intrusion detection and response systems. This paper proposes an agent-based model to address the aspect of intrusion detection in cluster based mobile wireless ad hoc network environment. The model comprises of a set of static and mobile agents, which are used to detect intrusions, respond to intrusions, and distribute selected and aggregated intrusion information to all other nodes in the network in an intelligent manner. The model is simulated to test its operation effectiveness by considering the performance parameters such as, detection rate, false positives, agent overheads, and intrusion information distribution time. Agent based approach facilitates flexible and adaptable security services. Also, it supports component based software engineering components such as maintainability, reachability, reusability, adaptability, flexibility, and customization.

Traditional mobile Ad Hoc network routing protocols are mainly based on the Shortest Path, which possibly results in many congestion nodes that incur routing instability and rerouting. To mitigate the side-efforts, this paper proposed a new bioinspired adaptive routing protocol (ATAR) based on a mathematics biology model ARAS. This paper improved the ARAS by reducing the randomness and by introducing a new routing-decision metric “the next-hop fitness” which was denoted as the congestion level of node and the length of routing path. In the route maintenance, the nodes decide to forward the data to next node according to a threshold value of the fitness. In the recovery phase, the node will adopt random manner to select the neighbor as the next hop by calculation of the improved ARAS. With this route mechanism, the ATAR could adaptively circumvent the congestion nodes and the rerouting action is taken in advance. Theoretical analysis and numerical simulation results show that the ATAR protocol outperforms AODV and MARAS in terms of delivery ratio, ETE delay, and the complexity. In particular, ATAR can efficiently mitigate the congestion.

A Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET) is a collection of wireless nodes communicating over multi-hop paths without any infrastructure. Nodes must cooperate to provide necessary network functionalities. The security in routing protocols like Dynamic Source Routing (DSR) can be compromised by a “Black Hole” attack. Here, a malicious node claims to have the shortest path to the destination and attracts all traffic and drops them, leading to performance degradation. The situation becomes worse when two or more nodes cooperate and perform the “Cooperative black hole” attack. This chapter proposes a solution based on probing to identify and prevent such attacks. The proposed solution discovers a secure route between the source and destination by identifying and isolating the attacking nodes. Simulation results show that the protocol provides better security and performance in terms of detection time, packet delivery ratio, and false negative probability in comparison with trust and probe based schemes.

A Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET) is a collection of wireless nodes that can dynamically form a network to exchange information without using any pre-existing fixed network infrastructure. Such networks are more vulnerable to security attacks than conventional wired networks, and hence cryptographic schemes are usually used to ensure security for them. It is worth noting that the nodes in MANETs are with low computational power and communicate over relatively bandwidth constrained wireless links, and thus the deployed cryptographic schemes should usually be highly efficient in term of both computational cost and communication overhead. To ensure the data confidentiality for MANETs, in this paper, we present a new hierarchical identity-based encryption (HIBE) scheme, which enjoys the advantages of low computational cost and light communication overhead. We further propose a new hierarchical identity-based key encapsulation mechanism (HIBKEM) based on our HIBE scheme. The proposed HIBKEM scheme is fully secure against adaptive chosen-ciphertext attack, and has a tight security reduction in the standard model.

Wireless sensor nodes are tiny and have limited battery and memory. These sensor nodes are distributed and self organizing networks. Mobile Ad Hoc network (MANETs) has wide range of applications areas. Growing usage of MANETs in various applications makes a paramount issue in providing QoS. MANETs are vulnerable to different kinds of malicious attacks due to its dynamic nature, which affects nodes connectivity, increase in energy consumption and functionality. Centralized and cryptographic security approaches requires more computational functions which increases overhead. Traditional approaches have more overhead. Most existing trust-based security schemes for mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs) consider packet loss an indicator of possible attacks by malicious nodes. Thus to achieve secure and reliable data transfer a trust aware scheme is required to evaluate trust level among honest and malicious nodes. In this paper we propose Trust Aware Scheme for Moving nodes (TASM) which discovers efficient node by computing each node’s trust value. In this scheme moving nodes exchange their trust information and analyses the received trust value and makes judgement. This scheme modifies the existing AODV routing protocol and determines malicious nodes based on trust value and log information. Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) determines efficient and trusted neighbour node selection while routing. Proposed scheme is compared with the existing trust based scheme and network parameters like throughput, packet delivery ratio and end to end delay is evaluated. Trusted routing can efficiently deliver data for different routing applications used in military, Fanets and mobile IoT.

Background: The performance of Mobile Ad-hoc Networks get severely degraded due to various attacks including Selfish Behaviour attack. The detection of malicious nodes and avoidance of such nodes for data forwarding is important to enhance the MANET’s performance. Methods: A probabilistic model based on Single Sided Laplacian distribution for the random ON/OFF switching time of this attack is proposed. The model is used to make appropriate decisions regarding assignment of trust levels to suspicious nodes. The proposed protocol, based on this trust along with Confidence values of nodes, referred to as OLSRT-C protocol is used to select the optimum path for data forwarding. Simulations are carried out using Network Simulator NS2.35. Results: The random behavior of Selfish Behaviour attack is analyzed by considering all the possible random parameters. The random deployment of mobile nodes, number of malicious nodes, number of times the malicious nodes switch and timing instances at which these nodes change their states are considered. From the results, it is observed that, the OLSRTC protocol gives stable performance for Packet Delivery Ratio and Routing Overheads whereas for OLSR protocol, Packet Delivery Ratio gradually reduces and Routing Overheads increase, for percentage of malicious nodes increase from 10% to 50%. For OLSRT-C protocol, Average Energy Consumption per node increases marginally compared to OLSR protocol. Conclusion: The proposed OLSRT-C protocol successfully mitigates randomized Selfish Behaviour attack with marginal increase in the Average Energy Consumption per node. The Protocol Efficacy for OLSRT-C protocol is much higher compared to OLSR protocol.

Network Metrics

Mobile ad hoc network (MANET) possess self-configuration, self-control and self-maintenance capabilities. Nodes of MANET are autonomous routers. Hence, they are vulnerable to security attacks. Collaborative attacks such as black hole and wormhole in MANET are difficult to be detected and prevented. Trust based routing decision is an effective approach for security enhancement in MANET. In this study, trust computing using fuzzy based max-product composition scheme is applied to compute aggregated trust values to determine malicious nodes and thereby safe route in MANETs. The results show performance improvement of proposed protocol over AODV protocol. Network metrics are analysed under different mobility conditions and different positions of black hole nodes.
