Detection of Abnormalities in MANETs

Abstract

Abnormalities in MANETs can be malicious attacks or selfish nodes which can affect network architecture and network operation significantly. Clearly, there are two distinct objectives: 1) To design/examine attacks and develop countermeasures and 2) design/modify current routing protocols, but adding new security features to prevent the routing from attacks and interruption. For both directions, security analysis has been addressed along with peer-to-peer networking architecture for MANETs and sensor networks. There are 10 common threats to these networks: spoofing of IP address, forging of route request, forging of route reply, injecting route reply without receiving a route request, replay attack, rushing attacks, generating false errors, jamming, man-in-the-middle attack, and modifying node list on a route request. There are many solutions that aim to design networks and networking protocols based upon the detection of abnormalities. These solutions are designed to be adaptive to any threats or abnormalities in the network.
