Abstract

Mobile ad-hoc network (MANET) is a decentralized network where each node will forward the data to other nodes. The major challenge in handling security in MANETs is that the network is not constant and thereby it is difficult to set a constant algorithm for detecting the intrusion. In this work, a context-aware intrusion detection and tolerance module for MANETs is proposed. A node in MANET can be a filtering node or a monitor node. The intrusion detection based on context awareness is done with the help of filtering and monitoring nodes and intrusion tolerance is done with the help of membership policy. The filtering nodes have minimum level of static database and the monitoring nodes have a database with learning capability. For tolerance, the nodes which are not a member are denied service while the nodes which are members are allowed the service according to some specific rules.
