Presenting cutting-edge research, this book explores the security aspects of the basic categories of wireless ad-hoc networks and related application areas. Focusing on intrusion detection systems (IDSs), it provides readers with the understanding required to establish security solutions for the range of wireless networks, including mobile ad-hoc networks, hybrid wireless networks, and sensor networks. This edited volume includes case studies on honesty-based intrusion detection systems, cluster oriented-based intrusion detection systems, and trust-based intrusion detection systems.

Introduction. Architecture and Organization Issues. Routing for ad-hoc Networks. Different Types of Routing Attacks for WANs. IDSX. HIDS. BHIDS. Intrusion Detection for Wireless Mesh Networks. Security in WAN and Quality of Services (QoS). Future Trends in WAN Security.
