A Specification-Based Intrusion Detection System for AODV
Overview The Ad hoc On-Demand Distance Vector (AODV) routing protocol, designed for mobile ad hoc networks, offers quick adaptation to dynamic link conditions, low processing and memory overhead, and low network utilization. However, without keeping in mind the security issues in the protocol design, AODV is vulnerable to various kinds of attacks. This paper analyzes some of the vulnerabilities, specifically discussing attacks against AODV that manipulate the routing messages. This paper proposes a solution based on specification-based intrusion detection to detect attacks on AODV. Briefly, the approach involves the use of finite state machines for specifying correct AODV routing behavior and distributed network monitors for detecting run-time violation of the specifications.
