This paper proposes and evaluates a decentralized self-healing mechanism that detects and recovers from wormhole attacks in wireless multi-hop sensor networks. Upon detecting a wormhole attack, the proposed mechanism, called SWAT, identifies the locations of malicious nodes (or wormhole nodes), isolates them from the network and recovers the routing structure distorted by them. SWAT is the firs...

Vehicular Ad hoc Networks (VANET) is the subclass of Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs). It is the most advanced technology that provides Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) in wireless communication among vehicles to vehicles and road side equipment (RSUs) to vehicles according to IEEE 802.11p standard. VANET provides broad range of safety and non safety applications. Safety application provi...

In multihop wireless systems, such as ad-hoc and sensor networks, the need for cooperation among nodes to relay each other’s packets exposes them to a wide range of security attacks. A particularly devastating attack is known as the wormhole attack, where a malicious node records control and data traffic at one location and tunnels it to a colluding node far away, which replays it locally. This...

The wormhole attack in Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) decreases the network performance by dropping the No. of Packets. Many techniques have been proposed to so far reduce the impact of the wormhole attack by detecting and preventing it. But, related work indicates that no technique is perfect for every kind of circumstances of WSNs. Among the existing techniques, Watchdog technique has better...

'Mobile ad hoc network (MANET)' is an infrastructure less, self controlled wireless network it doesn't need any centralized control so it can form and deform anywhere. Several freely movable mobile nodes with wireless connectivity can construct this type of network anywhere in no time, open connectivity and lack of central infrastructure enables the mobile nodes to freely exchang...

The infrastructure of a Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET) has no routers for routing, and all nodes must share the same routing protocol to assist each other when transmitting messages. However, almost all common routing protocols at present consider performance as first priority, and have little defense capability against the malicious nodes. Many researches have proposed various protocols of high...

This paper focuses on wormhole attacks detection in wireless sensor networks. The wormhole attack is particularly challenging to deal with since the adversary does not need to compromise any nodes and can use laptops or other wireless devices to send the packets on a low latency channel. This paper introduces an easy and effective method to detect and locate the wormholes: Since beacon nodes ar...

Now these day multihop wireless Ad-hoc network suffer from number of security threat namely wormhole attack. Wormhole attacks make an tunnel that attracted all the communication over the network in order either scan message over packet , drop the packet or for unwanted consumption of battery power of Adhoc network. In this paper a wormhole detection and prevention scheme has been proposed in or...

The minimization of power in wireless sensor network is big issue. If the process of energy constraints is optimized increase the reliability and security of mobile ADHOC network. The management of ADHOC network is great challenge due to dynamic infrastructure and mobility of node. Due to mobility of node routing path of network and security of communication suffered. In the process of node mob...
