Abstract

Wireless ad hoc sensor network becomes popular in civil and military jobs. But security is one of the significant challenges for sensor network because of their deployment in open and unprotected environment. As cryptographic mechanism is not enough to protect sensor network from external attacks, intrusion detection system needs to be introduced. Though intrusion prevention mechanism is one of the major and efficient methods against attacks, but there might be some attacks for which prevention method is not known. Besides preventing the system from some known attacks, intrusion detection system gather necessary information related to attack technique and help in the development of intrusion prevention system.

In addition to reviewing the present attacks available in wireless sensor network this paper examine the hierarchical architectural design based intrusion detection system that fits the current demands and restrictions of wireless ad hoc sensor network. In this paper, intrusion detection system architecture clustering mechanism is to build a four level hierarchical network which enhances network scalability to large geographical area and use both anomaly and misuse detection techniques for intrusion detection. In this proposed Intrusion Detection System architecture, we propose a new approach of an Intrusion Detection Based Security Solution for Cluster-Based Wireless Sensor Networks.
