Frequency Based Detection Algorithm of Wormhole Attack in WSNs
نویسنده
چکیده
The main Importance of Research paper is to propose a new algorithm for the detection of wormhole Attack in the WSNs. Wormhole Attack is the severe attack on WSN routing protocols. Two malicious nodes create an illusion that they are very close to each other by setting up low latency link(wormhole tunnel), retrieve data packets on one part and transmit it to another part of the network via that wormhole tunnel. This allows an intruder to subvert the correct operation of routing protocols, by controlling the numerous routes in the network. Hence, this paper explains the Algorithm for Wormhole Detection in Wireless Sensor Networks, which detects wormhole tunnel based on the static Frequency (Bandwidth) parameter in a network. The important advantage of the Wormhole Detection algorithm is that it can detect the approximate presence of wormhole tunnels, which is useful in implementing countermeasures.

A 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...

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are ubiquitous and pervasive, and therefore; highly susceptible to a number of security attacks. Denial of Service (DoS) attack is considered the most dominant and a major threat to WSNs. Moreover, the wormhole attack represents one of the potential forms of the Denial of Service (DoS) attack. Besides, crafting the wormhole attack is comparatively simple; though,...
