A Novel Framework For Prevent The Denial Of Service Attacks in MANET

In the field of networks, the Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) are one of the best and lively mobile networks which are capable of shaping when the infrastructure of pre-existing communication is not present. And in further to mobility, the restricted resources like storage space, bandwidth and battery power are used to categorize a MANET. The primary theory in MANETs is that the transitional nodes assist in forwarding the packets. Mobile Ad hoc Networks are very weak in terms of Denial of Service (DoS) because of their prominent characteristics. A MANET is a self-diagnostic model includes by multiple mobile wireless nodes. The node misbehaviour is due to egocentric reasons where it can considerably reduce the performance of MANET. A self-centred node endeavours to exploit the resources simply for its own intention and it hesitates to distribute the resources with their neighbours. As a result, it plays a central role to detect the self-centred nodes to progress the concert of MANET. Initially, our proposed structural design of a MANET is constructed and the message linking in the mobile is originated. The packet drop is able to ensue in MANET because of the egocentric node or network traffic. In this proposed paper, triangular vision modelling framework exploits the detection of the misbehaving nodes and the egocentric node in the MANET. The triangular vision view depicts a clear picture in identifying the ideal route by using the behaviour of nodes where it helps to detect the egocentric nodes and misbehaving nodes in the MANET. The two methods called Report Based Method (RBM) Detection and Trace and Hope based Method (THBM) detection are used to detect the egocentric nodes and misbehaving nodes in the proposed framework for the Mobile Ad hoc network.

Security and Privacy Issues in Wireless Mesh Networks: A Survey

This book chapter identifies various security threats in wireless mesh network (WMN). Keeping in mind the critical requirement of security and user privacy in WMNs, this chapter provides a comprehensive overview of various possible attacks on different layers of the communication protocol stack for WMNs and their corresponding defense mechanisms. First, it identifies the security vulnerabilities in the physical, link, network, transport, application layers. Furthermore, various possible attacks on the key management protocols, user authentication and access control protocols, and user privacy preservation protocols are presented. After enumerating various possible attacks, the chapter provides a detailed discussion on various existing security mechanisms and protocols to defend against and wherever possible prevent the possible attacks. Comparative analyses are also presented on the security schemes with regards to the cryptographic schemes used, key management strategies deployed, use of any trusted third party, computation and communication overhead involved etc. The chapter then presents a brief discussion on various trust management approaches for WMNs since trust and reputation-based schemes are increasingly becoming popular for enforcing security in wireless networks. A number of open problems in security and privacy issues for WMNs are subsequently discussed before the chapter is finally concluded.Comment: 62 pages, 12 figures, 6 tables. This chapter is an extension of the author's previous submission in arXiv submission: arXiv:1102.1226. There are some text overlaps with the previous submissio

Trust Based Scheme for QoS Assurance in Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks

A mobile ad-hoc network (MANET) is a peer-to-peer wireless network where nodes can communicate with each other without the use of infrastructure such as access points or base stations. These networks are self-configuring, capable of self-directed operation and hastily deployable. Nodes cooperate to provide connectivity, operates without centralized administration. Nodes are itinerant, topology can be very dynamic and nodes must be able to relay traffic since communicating nodes might be out of range. The dynamic nature of MANET makes network open to attacks and unreliability. Routing is always the most significant part for any networks. Each node should not only work for itself, but should be cooperative with other nodes. Node misbehaviour due to selfish or malicious intention could significantly degrade the performance of MANET. The Qos parameters like PDR, throughput and delay are affected directly due to such misbehaving nodes. We focus on trust management framework, which is intended to cope with misbehaviour problem of node and increase the performance of MANETs. A trust-based system can be used to track this misbehaving of nodes, spot them and isolate them from routing and provide reliability. In this paper a Trust Based Reliable AODV [TBRAODV] protocol is presented which implements a trust value for each node. For every node trust value is calculated and based trust value nodes are allowed to participate in routing or else identified to become a misbehaving node. This enhances reliability in AODV routing and results in increase of PDR, decrease in delay and throughput is maintained. This work is implemented and simulated on NS-2. Based on simulation results, the proposed protocol provides more consistent and reliable data transfer compared with general AODV, if there are misbehaving nodes in the MANE

Comparative and Analytical Study towards Mitigation of Gray hole Attacks in VANET

Vehicular Adhoc Network is a type of (MANET) Mobile Adhoc Network that enables vehicles on the road to intelligently interact and communicate with other vehicle and road side infrastructure unit. It is prone to several type of attacks and one such attack is Grayhole attack. Gray hole attack is one of the attack on routing specification in which malicious node selectively drops packets coming from the source. Due to lack of security in Adhoc on Demand Distance Vector (AODV) routing protocol, Grayhole attack disrupts the performance of network and render communication impossible. This paper reviews various attacks in VANET including Grayhole attack on AODV routing protocol and provides a survey of existing defence approaches to mitigate them

Security in Ad hoc Network through Intrusion Detection Techniques

Ad hoc networks are a new wireless networking paradigm for mobile hosts. Not like traditional mobile wireless networks, ad hoc networks do not depend on any fixed infrastructure. Rather, hosts depend on one another to keep the network associated. Security is the main concern in ad-hoc networks. Owe to the vulnerable nature of the mobile ad hoc network, there are various security threats that upset its improvement. There examine the fundamental vulnerabilities in the mobile ad hoc networks, which have made it a lot simpler to experience the effects of attacks than the conventional wired system. At that point examine the security criteria of the mobile ad hoc network and present the primary attack types that exist in it. At long last study the present security solutions through Intrusion Detection Technique for the mobile ad hoc network. There are two technique cluster based Intrusion Detection Technique for the mobile ad hoc network and misbehaviour Detection through Cross-layer Analysis are described

Layered security design for mobile ad hoc networks

When security of a given network architecture is not properly designed from the beginning, it is difficult to preserve confidentiality, authenticity, integrity and non-repudiation in practical networks. Unlike traditional mobile wireless networks, ad hoc networks rely on individual nodes to keep all the necessary interconnections alive. In this article we investigate the principal security issues for protecting mobile ad hoc networks at the data link and network layers. The security requirements for these two layers are identified and the design criteria for creating secure ad hoc networks using multiple lines of defense against malicious attacks are discussed

DSSAM: digitally signed secure acknowledgement method for mobile ad hoc network

Mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is an infrastructure-less, self-motivated, arbitrary, self-configuring, rapidly changing, multi-hop network that is self-possessing wireless bandwidth-conscious links without centrally managed router support. In such a network, wireless media is easy to snoop. It is firm to the surety to access any node, easier to insertion of bad elements or attackers for malicious activities in the network. Therefore, security issues become one of the significant considerations for such kind of networks. The deployment of an effective intrusion detection system is important in order to provide protection against various attacks. In this paper, a Digitally Signed Secure Acknowledgement Method (DSSAM) with the use of the RSA digital signature has been proposed and simulated. Three different parameters are considered, namely secure acknowledgment, node authentication, and packet authentication for study. This article observes the DSSAM performance and compares it with two existing standard methods, namely Watchdog and 2-ACK under standard Dynamic Source Routing (DSR) routing environment. In the end, it is noticed that the rate of detection of malicious behaviour is better in the case of the proposed method. However, associated overheads are high. A trade-of between performance and overhead has been considered
