ENHANCED SECURITY IN SPONTANEOUS WIRELESS AD HOC NETWORKS WITH INTRUSION DETECTION

Vani Menon C, Mary Mareena P V

Abstract: Spontaneous ad hoc network is created by a set of nodes placed together in the close region for some cooperative activity. A complete self-configured secure protocol uses the human interactions related with the activity to establish a basic service and security infrastructure. In order to achieve this requirement, authenticating the individual node as they come in the range of wireless network is needed. The secure protocol uses a hybrid symmetric or asymmetric scheme and the trust among users. The design of the protocol permits sharing resources and offering new services between users in a secure environment. Malicious nodes send or forward the data, which may disrupt the communication. The nodes in the network need to find out the malicious node. This paper describes a secure protocol for the network. The main focus of this paper is on the network management, security analysis of the system and an intrusion detection mechanism for spontaneous ad hoc network.
