A Lightweight Technique to Prevent Wormhole Attacks in AODV
نویسندگان
چکیده
Mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is vulnerable to many types of routing attacks due to its dynamic topology and the collaboration of MANET nodes in finding routing paths. The wormhole attack is considered one of the most threatening attacks. The most popular MANET routing protocols such as ad hoc on demand distance victor (AODV) are vulnerable to this security threat. In this paper, a lightweight technique is proposed to detect and prevent wormhole attacks in AODV using a mobile reliable backbone network. The backbone network monitors the behavior of MANET nodes to judge their reliability. The simulation results using NS2 show that the proposed technique can efficiently prevent wormhole attacks.

Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANET) are vulnerable to both active and passive attacks. The wormhole attack is one of the most severe security attacks in wireless ad hoc networks, an attack that can be mounted on a wide range of wireless network protocols without compromising any cryptographic quantity or network node. In Wormhole attacks, one malicious node tunnels packets from its location to the ...

The nature of Mobile Ad hoc NETworks (MANETs) makes them suitable to be utilized in the context of an extreme emergency for all rescue teams. We use the term emergency MANETs (eMANETs) in order to describe Next Generation Networks (NGNs) which are deployed in emergency cases such as forest fires and terrorist attacks. Secure routing in MANETs is critical. Due to the absence of a central authori...
متن کاملA two-phase wormhole attack detection scheme in MANETs
Mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs) have no fixed infrastructure, so all network operations such as routing and packet forwarding are done by the nodes themselves. However, almost all common existing routing protocols basically focus on performance measures regardless of security issues. Since these protocols consider all nodes to be trustworthy, they are prone to serious security threats. Wormhole...
