“…However, there arise a number of security threats in wireless networks, especially in wireless ad hoc networks 1 , which have often been deployed in areas without infrastructure support. These security issues in wireless ad hoc networks are different from those in conventional wired networks due to the unique features of wireless ad hoc networks.…”

Abstract-The eavesdropping security of wireless ad hoc networks has attracted considerable attention recently. However, most of current studies only consider OMN networks, where each node is mounted with a single omni-directional antenna, which radiates radio signals in all directions and consequently leads to the high eavesdropping possibility. Compared with an omnidirectional antenna, a directional antenna can concentrate the radio signals on some desired directions so that it can potentially reduce the eavesdropping possibility. This paper investigates the eavesdropping security of wireless ad hoc networks equipped with directional antennas. In particular, we study the eavesdropping possibility of OMN networks, SDA networks in which each node is equipped with a simplistic directional antenna and RDA networks in which each node is equipped with a realistic directional antenna. More specifically, we identify the eavesdropping activity in wireless networks and propose an eavesdropping model to measure the eavesdropping possibility. We conduct extensive simulations to evaluate the eavesdropping possibility of OMN networks, SDA networks and RDA networks with considering various environment factors, such as path loss attenuation and shadowing effects. Our simulation results show that using a simplistic directional antenna or a realistic antenna in wireless networks can reduce the eavesdropping possibility.

“…INTRODUCTION Mobile Ad-Hoc Network (MANET) is a recent developed part of wireless communication and expected to become an important part of the future generation architecture [1] . One of the major issues that affect the performance of an ad hoc network is the way of routing implemented in a network governed by mobility and dynamic network size.…”

Abstract-Mobile ad hoc networks (MANET) have emerged as an important field in the wireless area. Due to its dynamic nature, a primary challenge of MANET is the design of effective routing algorithm that can adapt its behavior to frequent and rapid changes in the network. This paper presents a novel scheme for MANET routing enhancement called Intelligent Ant sense (INTANTSENSE) protocol based on ant colony optimization. It utilizes a collection of mobile agents to perform optimal routing activities. By combining the capability of reactive routing with distributed and multipath routing mechanism, Intelligent Ant Sense routing compared with AODV protocol using network simulator-2 (NS-2).INTANTSENSE protocol utilizing the benefits of pheromones, third party reply model and ring search model, to enable optimal path routing, fast route discovery and effective Sense routing route failure handling.

“… Black-hole attack (Anjum, Mouchtaris, 2007): In this attack, a misbehaving node uses the routing protocol to advertise itself as having the shortest path to the node whose packets it wants to intercept. The attacker will then receive the traffic destined for other nodes, then can drop or modify the packets.…”

Intrusion Detection Systems (IDSs) for Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs) are necessary when we deploy MANETs in reality. In this paper, we focus on the protection of MANET routing protocols. Therefore, we present a new intrusion detection architecture based on quantitative, agents, and clusters that is suitable for multi-hop mobile ad hoc networks. It detects nodes misbehavior and anomalies in packet forwarding such as dropping, modifying or delaying of packets by intermediate nodes. Simulation results are given to validate the efficiency of our IDS architecture in detecting intrusions and reducing false positive rate.
