The document discusses the vulnerabilities of Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks (MANETs) due to their lack of fixed infrastructure, making them susceptible to malicious attacks. It introduces a new intrusion detection system called EAACK, which addresses the limitations of existing methods by using digital signatures and three components: ACK, S-ACK, and MRA to effectively detect and handle malicious nodes. The proposed system shows improved performance in malicious behavior detection while maintaining network efficiency.
