Abstract

The mobile nodes in an ad-hoc network is responsible for running its own intrusion detection Scheme in the promiscuous mode under operation. Running the IDS for continuous monitoring of events and behavior of nodes in the network depletes a huge amount of energy. Efficient Intrusion Detection Schemes (IDS) that integrate a cluster leader selection scheme with a hybrid intrusion process-based on game theory approach is essential for balancing the energy consumptions during continuous monitoring nodes’ behavior and data traffic in the network is essential. In this paper, an Integrated Elephant Herd Optimization and Reputation Signaling Game for Efficient Intrusion Detection Scheme (IEHO-RSG-EIDS) is proposed for maintaining energy balance and modelling the detection process as a Reputation Signaling-based non-cooperative game. This IEHO-RSG-EIDS initially uses the benefits of the Elephant Herd Optimization Algorithm for superior cluster leader selection that inherits the feasibility of intrusion detection. Then, a hybrid IDS is utilized in the contextual application of the lightweight or heavyweight detection process, which is initiated depending on the threshold of maliciousness prevalent in the network. The process of Reputation Signaling-based non-cooperative game modelling is incorporated only when the degree of maliciousness in the network is high. The simulation results of the recommended IEHO-RSG-EIDS sustained high accuracy and detection rate with minimum energy utilization and IDS traffic compared to the benchmarked schemes used for investigation.
