System and method for detecting attacks on mobile ad hoc networks based on network flux

摘要

Described is a system for detecting attacks on mobile networks. The system includes the relevant hardware and components to perform a variety of operations including continuously measuring time-varying signals at each node in a network. The system determines network flux on the time-varying signals of all nodes in the network and detects a network attack if the network flux exceeds a predetermined threshold. Further, a reactive protocol is initiated if the network flux exceeds the predetermined threshold.
