A mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is a self-organized cooperative network that works without any permanent infrastructure. This infrastructure less design makes it complex compared to other wireless networks. Lot of attacks and misbehavior obstruct the growth and implementation. The majority of attacks and misbehavior can be handled by existing protocols. But, these protocols reduce the total str...

A Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) is a collection of mobile nodes (hosts) which communicate with each other via wireless links either directly or relying on other nodes as routers. The operation of MANETs does not depend on pre-existing infrastructure or base stations. Network nodes in MANETs are free to move randomly. The nodes which drop the information to send forward considered as a selfish N...

Detecting misbehavior (such as transmissions of false information) in vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) is very important problem with wide range of implications including safety related and congestion avoidance applications. We discuss several limitations of existing misbehavior detection schemes (MDS) designed for VANETs. Most MDS are concerned with detection of malicious nodes. In most situ...

Purpose The purpose of this study is to determine which attribution dimensions concerning dysfunctional othercustomer misbehavior most influence customer dissatisfaction toward a service firm. Design/methodology/approach Our research hypotheses were tested using a 2 (Controllability: controllable versus uncontrollable) 9 2 (Stability: unstable versus stable) 9 2 (Globality: specific versus glob...

Cooperative diversity protocols are designed with the assumption that terminals always help each other in a socially efficient manner. This assumption may not be valid in commercial wireless networks where terminals may misbehave for selfish or malicious intentions. The presence of misbehaving terminals creates a social-dilemma where terminals exhibit uncertainty about the cooperative behavior ...

Transport Layer Security (TLS) is the main standard designed for secure connections over the Internet. Security of TLS connections against active Man-in-the-Middle attacks relies on correctly validating public-key certificates during TLS handshake authentication. Although Certificate Transparency (CT) and further improved CT system—IKPmitigated the certificate authentication issues from the per...
