Trust based Routing using Intrusion Detection System (IDS) in Ad-Hoc Networks

Abstract

Ad Hoc Networks are extremely vulnerable to attacks due to their dynamically changing topology, absence of conventional security infrastructures, and vulnerability of nodes, vulnerability of channels and open medium of communication. To address these concerns this work discusses a Trust based mechanism coupled with Ad Hoc Network based intrusion detection system (IDS) which can ensure the security services required by users. The idea is to implement Network based intrusion detection system (NIDS) for trust based routing in Ad Hoc Networks. It is challenging task to achieve the trust based routing. There are many attacks in ad-hoc networks like availability attacks, integrity, authentication, con dentiality and non-repudiation attacks. This work discusses availability attacks like Black hole attack, Dropping Routing Tra c attack, Route request ooding attack, Resource consumption attack and sel shness. This dissertation work will include creation of sel shness attack and de nes the IDS system for the same. Here in dissertation the tables in IDS will be created and reliable trust based routing protocol will be de ned accordingly. An analysis for the same will also be presented.
