Hybrid Detection and Mitigation of DNS Protocol MITM attack based on Firefly algorithm with Elliptical Curve Cryptography

A Domain Name Server is a critical Internet component. It enables users to surf the web and send emails. DNS database used by millions ofcomputers determine which address best answers user’s query. an unencrypted protocol that may be exploited in numerous ways. The mostpopular MITM attack uses poisoning intercept communications fake them. servers do not verify IP addresses they forwardtraffic to. In attacks, attacker either targets domain name or attempts exploit system weaknesses. Proposed FFOBLA-ECC model detects Spoofed nodes wireless network using optimized firefly boosted LSTM with help of TTL RTR parametersreceived from simulation environment provides authentication between order mitigate it Elliptical curve cryptography. proposed results are different other methods yield highly accurate beyond 98% compared existing RF, ARF, KNN methods.
