SECURITY IN MANET VIA DIFFERENT INTRUSION DETECTION TECHNIQUES

MANET which means Mobile Ad hoc Networks is popular because it requires no network infrastructure for the mobile nodes within the network to communicate. Any node can join or leave the network independently. The important features of MANET are dynamic topology, self-config uring, peer to peer architecture, use of wireless m edium and so on. Due to the dynamic infrastructure, MANET provides h igh flexibility that attracts them to many applicat ion as well as prone to security threats. Many of the vulnerabilit y in MANET are hard to detect. Even though the IDS was used as a security measure in wired network, researchers had explore the IDS as the security solution for the mo bile ad hoc network In this paper, we study the different IDS t echniques that can be applied on MANET.
