Abstract
Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANET) rely on the fundamental idea that all nodes act cooperatively to transfer data packets via multiple hops from a source to a remote destination. However, apart from the desired behaviour, in reality, malicious nodes can easily join the network and behave maliciously by not correctly participating in the network, e.g. by dropping packets or selectively forwarding packets. To mitigate the effect of malicious nodes in the network, in the first step, the misbehaving nodes must be identified. Based on the idea of biologically-inspired algorithms, in this paper, an artificial immune system is proposed that is able to detect misbehaving nodes in the network.
