A responsive probing approach to detect dynamic intrusion in a MANET

摘要

Mobile Ad hoc NETwork (MANET) is regarded as one of the most appropriate technologies to connect IoT (Internet-of-Things). However, intrusion detection for black hole or flooding attacks in MANET is very complicated due to a lack of trusted centralized authority and dynamic topology. This paper proposes an efficient and effective mechanism, Responsive Probing Mechanism (RPM), to periodically inject probe packets into normal data stream transmission for the dynamic detection of misbehavior intrusion. Moreover, an indicator based on the quality of probe packets transmission is introduced to quantify the degree of misbehavior intrusion. The simulation results show that the proposed RPM outperforms the existing solutions in terms of fast, effective detection and lower calculation cost.
