A Zone-Based Intrusion Detection System for Wireless Ad Hoc Distribution Power Communication Networks

The wireless ad hoc distribution power communication networks (WAH-DPCNs) are particularly vulnerable due to its specific features. In this paper, we describe the new intrusion detection system called zone-based intrusion detection system (ZBIDS). This system is a distributed IDS, in which two levels of hierarchical structure is defined. The ZBIDS system can detect not only the simple intrusions without sequence characters by pre-classifier based anomaly detection but also the complicated intrusions with the special sequence characters by a Markov chain based anomaly detection. In addition, ZBIDS system realizes co-detection via the local and global aggregation-correlation engines. According to the simulation results, it can be seen that Markov chain based anomaly detection engine of ZBIDS has the very good intrusion detection capability
