Data collection for attack detection and security measurement in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks: A survey

Abstract

Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) is becoming one type of major next generation wireless networks. Nevertheless, it easily suffers from various attacks due to its specific characteristics. In order to evaluate and measure the security of MANET in real time and make this network react accordingly, a promising alternative is to integrate detection mechanisms that play a role of the second line of defense to detect attacks in MANETs. We note that in most attack detection mechanisms, it is essential and crucial to collect the data related to security for further analysis. If security-related data collection is untrustworthy, attack detection and security measurement might be impacted and disabled. Unfortunately, few existing studies concern security-related data collection in attack detection for the purpose of trustworthy security measurement. The literature lacks a thorough survey on security-related data collection for attack detection and security measurement in MANETs. In this paper, we propose a number of requirements for trustworthy security-related data collection, and then review detection mechanisms in MANETs that were published in recent 20 years. In particular, we employ the proposed requirements as a set of criteria to evaluate the existing work about security-related data collection. Based on the survey and evaluation, we identify a number of open issues and point out future research directions.

An Adaptive Network Data Collection System in SDN

“…Based on the above literature review and many literature surveys [35]- [37], we can see that it lacks an effective data collection method in SDN that can dynamically and adaptively select a small number of nodes as data collectors based on network status in order to collect as few as possible data, but at the same time, the collection still helps detecting sensitive network events with high accuracy. Therefore, in this paper, we aim to propose such a data collection system in SDN.…”

Routing Schemes in FANETs: A Survey

“…Due to the differences among the ad hoc networks, novel routing schemes must be designed to cater to the main characteristics of FANETs. Table 2 compares the types of links in FANETs with those in MANETs and VANETs [44][45][46][47].…”

Performance Analysis of MANET under Rushing Attack

“…Eavesdropping, active interference occurs in Physical Layer. Some of the attacks occur in multiple layers [1]. These types of attracts are Denial of Service (DoS), SYN Flooding, Black hole attack, Wormhole attack, Repudiation etc.…”
