Investigating Open Issues in Swarm Intelligence for Mitigating Security Threats in MANET
The area of Mobile Adhoc Network (MANET) has being a demanded topic of research for more than a decade because of its attractive communication features associated with various issues. This paper primarily discusses on the security issues, which has been still unsolved after abundant research work. The paper basically stresses on the potential features of Swarm Intelligence (SI) and its associated techniques to mitigate the security issues. Majority of the previous researches based on SI has used Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) or Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) extensively. Elaborated discussion on SI with respect to trust management, authentication, and attack models are made with support of some of the recent studies done in same area. The paper finally concludes by discussing the open issues and problem identification of the review
Shortest Paths Routing Problem in MANETs
The need for communication services is rapidly increasing, because the mobile communication service is synonymous with an ideal communication style realizing communication anytime, anywhere and with anyone. The availability of a path depends on the number of links and the reliability of each link forming the path. Many routing metrics in terms of number of links have been proposed, such as the shortest path routing. Shortest path routing selects a path having minimum cost to forward the data to the destination node. Shortest path routing algorithm selection depends on direct traffic form source to destination, maximizing the network performance and minimizing the cost. Performance of the network can be enhanced through shortest path routing but it also depends upon the functionality of the routing protocol and the parameters that are selected for the shortest path routing. The primary goal of such an adhoc network routing protocol is correct and efficient route establishment between a pair of nodes so that messages may be delivered in a timely manner. Route construction should be done with a minimum of cost, overhead and bandwidth consumption. Some of researchers explored the concept of shortest path routing over ad hoc network. Each one uses his own parameters with different topology. No one uses all parameters. In this paper, we will discuss the solutions ideas that have been proposed by them
Bio-inspired network security for 5G-enabled IoT applications
Every IPv6-enabled device connected and communicating over the Internet forms the Internet of things (IoT) that is prevalent in society and is used in daily life. This IoT platform will quickly grow to be populated with billions or more objects by making every electrical appliance, car, and even items of furniture smart and connected. The 5th generation (5G) and beyond networks will further boost these IoT systems. The massive utilization of these systems over gigabits per second generates numerous issues. Owing to the huge complexity in large-scale deployment of IoT, data privacy and security are the most prominent challenges, especially for critical applications such as Industry 4.0, e-healthcare, and military. Threat agents persistently strive to find new vulnerabilities and exploit them. Therefore, including promising security measures to support the running systems, not to harm or collapse them, is essential. Nature-inspired algorithms have the capability to provide autonomous and sustainable defense and healing mechanisms. This paper first surveys the 5G network layer security for IoT applications and lists the network layer security vulnerabilities and requirements in wireless sensor networks, IoT, and 5G-enabled IoT. Second, a detailed literature review is conducted with the current network layer security methods and the bio-inspired techniques for IoT applications exchanging data packets over 5G. Finally, the bio-inspired algorithms are analyzed in the context of providing a secure network layer for IoT applications connected over 5G and beyond networks
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

Adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system and particle swarm optimization: A modern paradigm for securing VANETs
Vehicular Adhoc Networks (VANET) facilitate inter-vehicle communication using their dedicated connection infrastructure. Numerous advantages and applications exist associated with this technology, with road safety particularly noteworthy. Ensuring the transportation and security of information is crucial in the majority of networks, similar to other contexts. The security of VANETs poses a significant challenge due to the presence of various types of attacks that threaten the communication infrastructure of mobile vehicles. This research paper introduces a new security scheme known as the Soft Computing-based Secure Protocol for VANET Environment (SC-SPVE) method, which aims to tackle security challenges. The SC-SPVE technique integrates an adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system and particle swarm optimisation to identify different attacks in VANETs efficiently. The proposed SC-SPVE method yielded the following average outcomes: a throughput of 148.71 kilobits per second, a delay of 23.60 ms, a packet delivery ratio of 95.62%, a precision of 92.80%, an accuracy of 99.55%, a sensitivity of 98.25%, a specificity of 99.65%, and a detection time of 6.76 ms using the Network Simulator NS2
Safe Routing Approach by Identifying and Subsequently Eliminating the Attacks in MANET
Wireless networks that are decentralized and communicate without using
existing infrastructure are known as mobile ad-hoc networks. The most common
sorts of threats and attacks can affect MANETs. Therefore, it is advised to
utilize intrusion detection, which controls the system to detect additional
security issues. Monitoring is essential to avoid attacks and provide extra
protection against unauthorized access. Although the current solutions have
been designed to defeat the attack nodes, they still require additional
hardware, have considerable delivery delays, do not offer high throughput or
packet delivery ratios, or do not do so without using more energy. The
capability of a mobile node to forward packets, which is dependent on the
platform's life quality, may be impacted by the absence of the network node
power source. We developed the Safe Routing Approach (SRA), which uses
behaviour analysis to track and monitor attackers who discard packets during
the route discovery process. The attacking node recognition system is made for
irregular routing node detection to protect the controller network's usual
properties from becoming recognized as an attack node. The suggested method
examines the nearby attack nodes and conceals the trusted node in the routing
pathway. The path is instantly assigned after the initial discovery of trust
nodes based on each node's strength value. It extends the network's life span
and reduces packet loss. In terms of Packet Delivery Ratio (PDR), energy
consumption, network performance, and detection of attack nodes, the suggested
approach is contrasted with AIS, ZIDS, and Improved AODV. The findings
demonstrate that the recommended strategy performs superior in terms of PDR,
residual energy, and network throughput
