“…As a security sub-problem in wireless mesh networks, the reputation evaluation mechanism has been widely studied in recent years [15][16][17][18][19]. Compared with the static reputation model, the dynamic reputation model, which is evaluated based on the node's experience, may be more suitable for the security requirement in wireless mesh networks because of the complex environment and the diversified and unpredictable security problems found in wireless mesh networks.…”

Wireless mesh networks are highly susceptible to Distributed Denial-of-Service attacks due to its self-configuring property. Flooding DDOS attack is one form of collaborative attacks and the transport layer of such networks are extremely affected. In this paper we propose ColShield, an effective and collaborative protection shield which not only detects flooding attacks but also prevents the flooding attacks through clever spoof detection. ColShield consists of Intrusion Protection and Detection Systems (IPDS) located at various points in the network which collaboratively defend flooding attacks. ColShield detects the attack node and its specific port number under attack. In order to reduce the burden on a single global IPDS, the system uses several local IPDS for the collaborative mitigation of flooding attacks. The evaluation of ColShield is done using extensive simulations and is proved to be effective in terms of false positive ratio, packet delivery ratio, communication overhead and attack detection time.

“…As an alternative, to achieve high detection rates while conserving resources on resource-constrained WMN nodes, cooperative IDS solutions [12,13] have been proposed. In cooperative IDS solutions (e.g., hierarchical [12,[30][31][32], groupbased [33][34][35], zone-based [36], or neighbor-assisted [37,38]) every node is assigned a few IDS functions to detect attacks based on local observation.…”

“…In Cooperative IDS solutions [12,13], resource-constrained nodes are assigned a few distinct IDS functions for local intrusion detection and exchange information for cooperative intrusion detection (i.e., to achieve higher detection rates). Cooperative IDS thus have low false negative rates, however, they incur high detection delay and high communication overhead due to the message exchange required for intrusion detection.…”

Due to the recent increased interest in wireless mesh networks (WMN), their security challenges have become of paramount importance. An important security mechanism for WMN, intrusion detection, has received considerable attention from the research community. Recent results show that traditional monitoring mechanisms are not applicable to real-world WMN due to their constrained resources (memory and processing power), which result in high false negative rates since only few IDS functions can be activated on monitoring nodes. Cooperative solutions, on the other hand, have high communication overhead and detection delay when traffic is high. A practical traffic-aware IDS solution was recently proposed for resource-constrained WMN, however, traffic-awareness might not be feasible for some WMN applications. This paper proposes a traffic-agnostic IDS solution that uses a link-coverage approach to monitor both local and backbone WMN traffic. Using real-world experiments and extensive simulations we show our proposed IDS solutions outperform traffic-aware IDS solutions while requiring lower computation and communication overhead.
