Date: 17-Feb-2011

Venue: Bestari Room 3

Speaker: Mr. Satria Mandala

Mr. Satria Mandala, another PHD student supervised by Prof. Hannan was the speaker for this time seminar class. An Indonesian guy. He has been doing the research in MANET for his PHD. MANET - Mobile Adhoc Network, is 1 of a popular wireless network. As it is wireless and mobile, many security issue could be found in this network. Continuous research by many researcher is carry out to enhanced the network security and resolve the issues.

 

Security issues in MANET could be divided to 2 types;

     - External attack VS Internal attack
     - Passive attack VS Active attack

 

Mr. Satria research is specifically about "Intrusion Detection Together with Critical Nodes Detection for Securing MANET". Security solution for MANET, in his opinion could be achieved by monitoring the system using Intrusion detection and encrypt the message routing.

He informed us that in order to secure the network, i.e. MANET, we first must know what kind of threat attacking the system. He roughly explained on few types of attacks.

      - Black hole attack --> most popular in MANET

      - Wormhole attack

      - Routing attack

      - Byzantine attack

      - Denial of Service

      - Impersonation

He mentioned about the simulator used in his research, however due to some technical problem, he could not shows us on that day. As such he could not explained further on his research & will be continue in some other session.

 

Prof. Hannan has appointed George to be in-charged for another session with Mr. Satria. Who ever interested in Mr. Satria's research may submit name to George..

I guess I was not that into his research, so I did not send name to George.. Nevertheless, thanks Mr. Satria for the knowledge sharing. Appreciate that! ;)
