An Energy-Efficient Intrusion Detection System for MANET

Abstract

In the present scenario, the technology of wireless ad hoc networks has gained a lot of importance. Mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is an area that belongs to ad hoc wireless network. Nodes in mobile network have small batteries with limited power. The huge numbers of mobile nodes in MANET makes it impractical to replace sensor node batteries. Along with that, it has open medium and wide distribution of nodes that make MANET open to various types of attacks. Thus, to handle these various types of attacks, it is essential to make a competent and secure network in MANET. Thus, the lifetime of Mobile nodes is a significant attribute of wireless ad hoc networks with proper security norms. In this paper, an energy-efficient Cluster-based Game IDS Protocol for routing over MANET is proposed. In the field of network security, various techniques have been proposed but having disadvantages over power consumption. In order to overcome all these disadvantages of the proposed, Cluster-based game theory for IDS has been proposed that integrates the Game theory and K-means. In the proposed methodology, game theory is used to calculate reliability score, where K-means provide scope of reliability score up to a cluster with specific cluster head. This approach helps to enhance security with network survival. The simulation results also provide the enhanced outcome on comparison with the previous applied techniques.
