Design and implementation of an embedded intrusion detection system for wireless applications

Securing solar energy‐harvesting road‐side unit using an embedded cooperative‐hybrid intrusion detection system

“…Although the majority of the mentioned references give various IDS solutions for the ad hoc networking environment, they do not take into consideration the realisation issues of their thoughts on real platforms, especially embedded systems. Even though, our previous works in [29, 30] study the implementation challenges of inserting an IDS functionality into an embedded platform, the contribution was limited to a cooperative IDS energised by the traditional wire power resources. Our efforts in this paper focus on answering some questions regarding the implementation of a cooperative HIDS into a renewable energy‐dependent embedded system, questions such as: Is it possible to implement such a sophisticated system into a resources limited platform? What do we need to ensure the successful combination of the different security methods, algorithms and techniques with solar energy powered system? What are the assessment of the whole system in terms of its network performance, practicability, power consumption and immunity against the different threats? …”

Security Issues of Solar Energy Harvesting Road Side Unit (RSU)

“…These works studies the various methods to achieve secure message and entity authentication and the required methods to obtain flexible, extensible, and efficient VANET verification process. There have been many papers deals with the different issues related to the VANET Intrusion Detection System (IDS) [13]. Some researches studies the possible attacks that may occur in VANET, their origins, the possible victims.…”

“…Then, the signature based detection system tries to recognize any suspicious behavior according to these patterns. It is already concluded from research in ad hoc networks that severe memory constraints make intrusion detection systems that need to store attack signatures relatively difficult to build and less likely to be effective [13]. To solve this problem, a signature based IDS was achieved by building a light weight, signature based IDS, based on the famous open source SNORT IDS.…”

“…SNORT is an open source network IDS capable of performing real-time traffic analysis and packet logging on Internet Protocol (IP) networks [13]. SNORT can perform protocol analysis and content searching/matching, and can be used to detect a variety of attacks and probes [13]. SNORT uses a simple, lightweight rules description language that is flexible and quite powerful.…”

“…Aho-Corasick (AC) algorithm is chosen in this paper to act as the classification and processing algorithm. The essence of the Aho-Corasick algorithm involves a preprocessing step (at the VANET server) which builds up a state machine that encodes all of the strings to be searched [13]. The preprocessing part or building trees part will be sent as an update file from the server to the RSUs.…”
