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

Secure Routing in Wireless Mesh Networks
Wireless mesh networks (WMNs) have emerged as a promising concept to meet the
challenges in next-generation networks such as providing flexible, adaptive,
and reconfigurable architecture while offering cost-effective solutions to the
service providers. Unlike traditional Wi-Fi networks, with each access point
(AP) connected to the wired network, in WMNs only a subset of the APs are
required to be connected to the wired network. The APs that are connected to
the wired network are called the Internet gateways (IGWs), while the APs that
do not have wired connections are called the mesh routers (MRs). The MRs are
connected to the IGWs using multi-hop communication. The IGWs provide access to
conventional clients and interconnect ad hoc, sensor, cellular, and other
networks to the Internet. However, most of the existing routing protocols for
WMNs are extensions of protocols originally designed for mobile ad hoc networks
(MANETs) and thus they perform sub-optimally. Moreover, most routing protocols
for WMNs are designed without security issues in mind, where the nodes are all
assumed to be honest. In practical deployment scenarios, this assumption does
not hold. This chapter provides a comprehensive overview of security issues in
WMNs and then particularly focuses on secure routing in these networks. First,
it identifies security vulnerabilities in the medium access control (MAC) and
the network layers. Various possibilities of compromising data confidentiality,
data integrity, replay attacks and offline cryptanalysis are also discussed.
Then various types of attacks in the MAC and the network layers are discussed.
After enumerating the various types of attacks on the MAC and the network
layer, the chapter briefly discusses on some of the preventive mechanisms for
these attacks.Comment: 44 pages, 17 figures, 5 table
DPRAODV: A Dynamic Learning System Against Blackhole Attack In AODV Based MANET
Security is an essential requirement in mobile ad hoc networks to provide protected communication between mobile nodes. Due to unique characteristics of MANETS, it creates a number of consequential challenges to its security design. To overcome the challenges, there is a need to build a multifence security solution that achieves both broad protection and desirable network performance. MANETs are vulnerable to various attacks, blackhole, is one of the possible attacks. Black hole is a type of routing attack where a malicious node advertise itself as having the shortest path to all nodes in the environment by sending fake route reply. By doing this, the malicious node can deprive the traffic from the source node. It can be used as a denial-of-service attack where it can drop the packets later. In this paper, we proposed a DPRAODV (Detection, Prevention and Reactive AODV) to prevent security threats of blackhole by notifying other nodes in the network of the incident. The simulation results in ns2 (ver-2.33) demonstrate that our protocol not only prevents blackhole attack but consequently improves the overall performance of (normal) AODV in presence of black hole attack
An enhanced Multipath Strategy in Mobile Ad hoc Routing Protocols
The various routing protocols in Mobile Ad hoc Networks follow different
strategies to send the information from one node to another. The nodes in the
network are non static and they move randomly and are prone to link failure
which makes always to find new routes to the destination. This research mainly
focused on the study of the characteristics of multipath routing protocols in
MANETS. Two of the multipath routing protocols were investigated and a
comparative study along with simulation using NS2 was done between DSR and AODV
to propose an enhanced approach to reach the destination maintaining the QoS. A
possible optimization to the DSR and AODV routing protocols was proposed to
make no node to be overburdened by distributing the load after finding the
alternate multipath routes which were discovered in the Route discovery
process. The simulation shows that the differences in the protocol highlighted
major differences with the protocol performance. These differences have been
analyzed with various network size, mobility, and network load. A new search
table named Search of Next Node Enquiry Table (SONNET) was proposed to find the
best neighbor node. Using SONNET the node selects the neighbor which can be
reached in less number of hops and with less time delay and maintaining the
QoS

A twoâstep authentication framework for Mobile ad hoc networks
The lack of fixed infrastructure in ad hoc networks causes nodes to rely more heavily on peer nodes for communication. Nevertheless, establishing trust in such a distributed environment is very difficult, since it is not straightforward for a node to determine if its peer nodes can be trusted. An additional concern in such an environment is with whether a peer node is merely relaying a message or if it is the originator of the message. In this paper, we propose an authentication approach for protecting nodes in mobile ad hoc networks. The security requirements for protecting data link and network layers are identified and the design criteria for creating secure ad hoc networks using several authentication protocols are analyzed. Protocols based on zero knowledge and challenge response techniques are presented and their performance is evaluated through analysis and simulation
A Review of the Energy Efficient and Secure Multicast Routing Protocols for Mobile Ad hoc Networks
This paper presents a thorough survey of recent work addressing energy
efficient multicast routing protocols and secure multicast routing protocols in
Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs). There are so many issues and solutions which
witness the need of energy management and security in ad hoc wireless networks.
The objective of a multicast routing protocol for MANETs is to support the
propagation of data from a sender to all the receivers of a multicast group
while trying to use the available bandwidth efficiently in the presence of
frequent topology changes. Multicasting can improve the efficiency of the
wireless link when sending multiple copies of messages by exploiting the
inherent broadcast property of wireless transmission. Secure multicast routing
plays a significant role in MANETs. However, offering energy efficient and
secure multicast routing is a difficult and challenging task. In recent years,
various multicast routing protocols have been proposed for MANETs. These
protocols have distinguishing features and use different mechanismsComment: 15 page
