Intrusion Detection in Wireless Ad-Hoc Networks

It is essential for organizations to complement traditional security mechanisms with efficient programs for intrusion detection and response. Intrusion detection systems (IDSs) monitor audit data, look for intrusions to the network system, and initiate a proper response. This book covers the security aspects for all types of wireless ad-hoc networks and related application areas, including MANETs, wireless mesh networks, and sensor networks. It also explores advanced topics such as security for smart power grid, and IDS for the cloud environment.
