Description
Summary:Nowadays use of wireless technologies tremendously increased due to the continuous development of these technologies in various applications. One of the development in wireless technologies leads to deployment of the networks in which all mobile nodes will communicate via wireless links directly without use of any base station or predefined infrastructural support. These networks are self-organized networks called mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) and architecture used for these networks will be either stand alone with one or few nodes communicating with base station or distributed. As communication is done through wireless links, these types of networks are more prone to several kinds of attacks. Authentication and encryption acts as first line of defense while an intrusion detection system (IDS) acts as a second line of defense. One of the intrusion detection system used in MANET is Enhanced Adaptive Acknowledgement (EAACK) which is based on acknowledgement packets for detection of malicious activities. This system increases the overhead of network significantly relative to other system such as watchdog. So, in this paper we adopt the hybrid cryptography to reduce the network overhead and enhance the security of networks significantly.
