Most intrusion detection systems rely on signature matching of known malware or anomaly discrimination by data mining historical network traffic. This renders defended systems vulnerable to new or polymorphic code and deceptive attacks that do not trigger anomaly alarms. A lightweight, self-aware intrusion detection system (IDS) is essential for the security of government and commercial networks, especially mobile, ad-hoc networks (MANETs) with relatively limited processing power. This research proposes a ...
