Prevention of replay attack using intrusion detection system framework

Abstract

In current mobile technology, mobile ad hoc networks feature numerous challenges to sustain constant connectivity when there are adverse network situations such as link failure, routing attacks and security threats. In such cases, the network exhibits reactive approach using detection mechanism to prevent attacks. At the same time this network also demonstrates proactive approach by making attempts to avoid an attacker from doing attacking activity. It uses various cryptographic methodologies as the prevention mechanism for doing so. The proposed article presents an intrusion detection mechanism-based framework (IDMBF) for secured routing in a very specialized and challenging mobile ad hoc network. Simulation results show that the proposed system exhibited reduced packet loss rate and comparatively reduced end-to-end delay during data transmission when compared to other similar approaches.
