Securing the OLSR routing protocol for Ad Hoc Detecting and Avoiding Wormhole Attack
نویسنده
چکیده
A major problem facing researchers today in the field of ad hoc networks is safety and preservation of the integrity of such networks. Among the many attacks recorded in the literature, wormhole attack remains a severe attack and not completely solved, particularly in ad hoc network configuration where OLSR is used as routing protocol. In the article we have proposed a more effective method for detecting and preventing attacks Wormholes in OLSR. Its principle of detection is based on the use of four messages “HELLOreq, HELLOrep, Probing, ACKprob”. The solution is easy to deploy, and does not require time synchronization or location information, nor does it require any special hardware or complex calculation. The performances of this approach show a high detection rate under various scenarios.

In mobile ad hoc networks, the absence ofinfrastructure and the consequent absence of authorizationfacilities impede the usual practice of establishing a practicalcriterion to distinguishing nodes as trusted and distrusted.Since all nodes in the MANETs would be used as router inmulti-hop applications, secure routing protocols have vital rulein the security of the network. So evaluating the perf...

Mobile ad hoc networks (MANET) are constructed by mobile nodes without access point. Since MANET has certain constraints, including power shortages, an unstable wireless environment and node mobility, more power-efficient and reliable routing protocols are needed. The OLSR protocol is an optimization of the classical link state algorithm. OLSR introduces an interesting concept, the multipoint r...

In ad hoc networks, malicious nodes can carry wormhole attacks to fabricate a false scenario on neighbour relations among mobile nodes. The attacks threaten the safety of ad hoc routing protocols and some security enhancements. In the wormhole attack, an attacker records packets (or bits) at one location in the network, tunnels them (possibly selectively) to another location, and retransmits th...

The strongest feature of ad hoc networks is its capability to be rapidly deployed anywhere and anytime without relying on a pre-existing infrastructure. From there, ad hoc networks offer the advantages to be auto-organized, ubiquitous, dynamic and completely autonomous. As a counter part, securing them becomes a more difficult task, especially because of the absence of centralized entities in t...
