Abstract

This study proposes an approach to deploy a node implementing IDS (Intrusion Detection System) in MANETs for detecting and isolating wormhole nodes, if they exist. This study uses ns2 to evaluate the proposed IDS nodes, and the results show that these IDSs can rapidly and correctly block the wormhole nodes under the circumstances of low false positives.
