Analysis and implementation of intrusion detection using wireless networks

A number of neighbor-monitoring, trust-building, and cluster-based voting schemes have been proposed in the research to enable the detection and reporting of malicious activity in ad hoc networks. The resources consumed by ad hoc network member nodes to monitor, detect, report, and diagnose malicious activity, however, may be greater than simply rerouting packets through a different available path. In this paper we present a method for determining conditions under which critical nodes should be monitored, describes the details of a critical node test Simulation, presents experimental results, and offers a new approach for conserving the limited resources of an ad hoc network IDS.
