Protector Control PC-AODV-BH in The Ad Hoc Networks

In this paper we deal with the protector control that which we used to secure AODV routing protocol in Ad Hoc networks. The considered system can be vulnerable to several attacks because of mobility and absence of infrastructure. While the disturbance is assumed to be of the black hole type, we purpose a control named "PC-AODV-BH" in order to neutralize the effects of malicious nodes. Such a protocol is obtained by coupling hash functions, digital signatures and fidelity concept. An implementation under NS2 simulator will be given to compare our proposed approach with SAODV protocol, basing on three performance metrics and taking into account the number of black hole malicious nodesComment: submit 15 pages, 19 figures, 1 table, Journal Indexing team, AIRCC 201

Spectrum sharing security and attacks in CRNs: a review

Cognitive Radio plays a major part in communication technology by resolving the shortage of the spectrum through usage of dynamic spectrum access and artificial intelligence characteristics. The element of spectrum sharing in cognitive radio is a fundament al approach in utilising free channels. Cooperatively communicating cognitive radio devices use the common control channel of the cognitive radio medium access control to achieve spectrum sharing. Thus, the common control channel and consequently spectrum sharing security are vital to ensuring security in the subsequent data communication among cognitive radio nodes. In addition to well known security problems in wireless networks, cognitive radio networks introduce new classes of security threats and challenges, such as licensed user emulation attacks in spectrum sensing and misbehaviours in the common control channel transactions, which degrade the overall network operation and performance. This review paper briefly presents the known threats and attacks in wireless networks before it looks into the concept of cognitive radio and its main functionality. The paper then mainly focuses on spectrum sharing security and its related challenges. Since spectrum sharing is enabled through usage of the common control channel, more attention is paid to the security of the common control channel by looking into its security threats as well as protection and detection mechanisms. Finally, the pros and cons as well as the comparisons of different CR - specific security mechanisms are presented with some open research issues and challenges

A Survey on Secure Cooperative Bait Detection Approach for Detecting Malicious Nodes in MANETs

In Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANETs), the main problem is the security as well as formation of communication amongst nodes is that nodes must work together with each other. Avoiding or sensing malicious nodes initiation grayhole or collaborative blackhole attacks is the main challenge. Cooperative bait detection approach mixes the advantages of both proactive and reactive defense architectures. Here it uses the technique of transposition for implementing security and the CBDA technique outfits a reverse tracing method to help in attaining the specified aim. The demonstration in the occurrence of malicious-node attacks, the CBDA outperforms the DSR, and Best-Effort Fault-Tolerant Routing (BFTR) protocols in relations to packet delivery ratio and routing overhead. In the transposition method we use the key which is the askey value of the character which is encrypted at sender side and decrypted at receiver. DOI: 10.17762/ijritcc2321-8169.15033

Algorithms based on spider daddy long legs for finding the optimal route in securing mobile ad hoc networks

Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) are wireless networks that are subject to severe attacks, such as the black hole attack. One of the goals in the research is to find a method to prevent black hole attacks without decreasing network throughput or increasing routing overhead. The routing mechanism in define uses route requests (RREQs; for discovering routes) and route replies (RREPs; for receiving paths). However, this mechanism is vulnerable to attacks by malicious black hole nodes. The mechanism is developed to find the shortest secure path and to reduce overhead using the information that is available in the routing tables as an input to propose a more complex nature-inspired algorithm. The new method is called the Daddy Long-Legs Algorithm (PGO-DLLA), which modifies the standard AODV and optimizes the routing process. This method avoids dependency exclusively on the hop counts and destination sequence numbers (DSNs) that are exploited by malicious nodes in the standard AODV protocol. The experiment by performance metrics End-to-End delay and packet delivery ratio are compared in order to determine the best effort traffic. The results showed the PGO-DLLA improvement of the shortest and secure routing from black hole attack in MANET. In addition, the results indicate better performance than the related works algorithm with respect to all metrics excluding throughput which AntNet is best in routing when the pause time be more than 40 seconds. PGODLLA is able to improve the route discovery against the black hole attacks in AODV. Experiments in this thesis have shown that PGO-DLLA is able to reduce the normalized routing load, end-to-end delay, and packet loss and has a good throughput and packet delivery ratio when compared with the standard AODV protocol, BAODV protocol, and the current related protocols that enhance the routing security of the AODV protocols

Trust-Based Security Technique to Curb Cooperative Black Hole Attacks in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks using OTB-DSR Protocol in NS-3

The advent of mobile technology led to the emergence of Mobile Ad-hoc networks (MANETs). These networks have no infrastructure and central authority. Nodes in MANETs act as both routers and hosts. MANET nodes join and leave the network at will making the network topology dynamic. MANETs are prone to both passive and active security attacks. Blackhole is a denial of service attack under active attacks. Blackhole nodes work in collaboration forming cooperative black hole attacks. The attacks drop or redirecting data packets on transit. Cooperative blackhole attacks are dangerous in operations where communication is critica

A parallel prevention algorithm for black hole attacks in MANET

In this paper, we propose a parallel algorithm for MANETs that optimizes both routing discovery and security in an Ad Hoc On Demand Distance Vector (AODV). The new algorithm, termed as Parallel Grid Optimization by the Daddy Long-Legs Algorithm (PGO-DLLA), simulates the behavior of the biological spiders known as daddy long-legs spiders.Experiments were conducted on an NS2 simulator to demonstrate the efficiency and robustness of the proposed algorithm.The results indicate better performance than the AntNet algorithm with respect to all metrics that used in experiments such as packet delivery ratio (PDR), end-to-end delay (EtoE) and Packet loss (PL) except throughput, for which AntNet is the better algorithm.In addition, the results show that PGO-DLLA outperforms the standard AODV algorithm in simulations of both a peaceful environment and a hostile environment represented by a black hole attacks

A Review on Attacks in Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET)

MANET (Mobile Ad hoc Network) is a wireless network having no any fixed infrastructure. It consists of autonomous, self-organized wireless mobile nodes, which are to move in or out in the network. MANET performs all the network activities such as message delivery, discovery of route path etc. using its nodes only. It uses the routing protocols such as DSDV, DSR and AODV etc. As there is no clear line of defense in MANET, so, it is more prone to both the legitimate users and the malicious nodes . The presence of these malicious nodes is one of the major the challenges in MANET and it has become necessary to design a very robust solution for the security of MANET. MANET is more vulnerable to attacks because of its openness, dynamic and infrastructure-less nature. The two types of routing attacks are , such as active i.e. Gray Hole Attack, Black Hole Attack, Flooding, Spoofing, Wormhole and passive i.e. Eavesdropping, Traffic Analysis. AODV is used to discover the path from source to destination but its more prone to malicious intent like gray hole and black hole attacks. Gray Hole attack tends to drop the packet while the routing process. In Black Hole attack, the malicious node presents itself as the shortest and newest route to the destination node and attracts the routing packets. This paper presents a focus on the fundamental issues in MANET by describing its related research in the previous year along with its concept, features and vulnerabilities

Intelligent detection of black hole attacks for secure communication in autonomous and connected vehicles

Detection of Black Hole attacks is one of the most challenging and critical routing security issues in vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) and autonomous and connected vehicles (ACVs). Malicious vehicles or nodes may exist in the cyber-physical path on which the data and control packets have to be routed converting a secure and reliable route into a compromised one. However, instead of passing packets to a neighbouring node, malicious nodes bypass them and drop any data packets that could contain emergency alarms. We introduce an intelligent black hole attack detection scheme (IDBA) tailored to ACV. We consider four key parameters in the design of the scheme, namely, Hop Count, Destination Sequence Number, Packet Delivery Ratio (PDR), and End-to-End delay (E2E). We tested the performance of our IDBA against AODV with Black Hole (BAODV), Intrusion Detection System (IdsAODV), and EAODV algorithms. Extensive simulation results show that our IDBA outperforms existing approaches in terms of PDR, E2E, Routing Overhead, Packet Loss Rate, and Throughput
