Mobile agents

Wireless sensor networks

Many attempts were made to secure wireless ad hoc networks (WAHNs), but due to their special ad hoc nature and strict constraints, finding an optimal and comprehensive security solution is still a research challenge. In this paper we present the main security challenges of WAHNs. Then we study and analyze mobile agents and their attributes against those challenging requirements. The analyses show a great feasibility and promising suitability for mobile-agent-based solutions to be adopted by the WAHNs intrusion detection systems. The paper also surveys, studies and compares the existing WAHNs mobile-agents-based intrusion detection designs.
