A noncooperative game approach for intrusion detection in Mobile Adhoc networks

Mobile ad hoc networks (MANET) are becoming an important research aspect due to the self-organization network, dynamically changing topology, temporary network life and wireless nature of communication. Due to these characteristics, the nodes in MANET are subject to various attacks and malicious activities. This paper presents a model for analyzing these misbehaviors using game theory. This model focuses on interaction between pair of attacking/regular nodes as a two player noncooperative non-zero sum game.
