Trust system based intrusion detection in mobile ad-hoc network (MANET)

Abstract

The Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET) is a volatile network, the nodes are in the movable state. The node can easily enter and exit from the network. The attacker node can easily enter into the network and affect the performance of the network. The malicious nodes are difficult to detect as any node can enter into the network easily. The detection of the malicious node is very important to secure and improve the performance of the network. The various parameters are considered to differentiate between the malicious and honest nodes of the network The paper gives solution for detection of malicious nodes from the network depending on the trust of the node. In this paper, various parameters are considered to identify the maliciousness. The parameters include the energy of node, the mobility of the nodes and two social parameters. The detection is based on the trust value for the particular node.
