“…When a malicious node receives an RREQ packet, it sends an RREP showing the shortest and fastest route to the intended destination. When a source node starts sending packets to a malicious node, it further sends to another distantly located wormhole node via a wormhole tunnel which may drop all the data packets and cause network interruption [6]- [8]. It can quickly be launched without having a knowledge network or compromising any legitimate nodes or cryptographic mechanism.…”

Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) is a promising technology that is having a significant number of applications in healthcare. Despite having several benefits, WBAN is susceptible to several security attacks, particularly related to the node misbehavior attacks such as sinkholes, wormholes, blackholes, and gray hole attacks. In this research work, the performance of the AODV protocol against wormhole and sinkhole attacks has been analyzed. This comparison-based study has been achieved for the PDR (Packet Delivery Ratio), NRL (Normalized Routing Load), residual energy, packet loss, average throughput, and average end-to-end delay metrics for WBAN with 20 and 50 nodes respectively. The results show that in 20 nodes network the PDR and average throughput of the sinkhole is 32% and 53% more than the wormhole attack, respectively. However, NRL is 36% and the average e2e delay is 63% less than the wormhole attack. In 50 nodes network, the PDR of a sinkhole attack is 26% and the average throughput is 10.7% more than the wormhole attack. Though, NRL and average e2e delays are 41.7% and 78.5% less than the wormhole attack, respectively. Hence, the wormhole attack in either network is more destructive than the sinkhole attack. Based on the simulation results, some solutions against the mentioned attacks have been recommended.

Background/Objectives: To mitigate network from amalgam attacks, this study is focussed on designing an efficient approach that can prevent the networks from intruders and secure the communication. Methods: A crossbreed approach, named 'MOpt Shield,' is proposed in this study. This proposed protocol utilizes the efficacy of the existing Cuckoo Search and Firefly Optimization Algorithm on basic AODV protocol along with the promising factors of the Intrusion Detection System. The proposed protocol is simulated using an NS-2 simulator with two different simulation scenarios, and PDR, Throughput, PLR, and Delay parameters are considered performance measures for the same. Findings: The proposed protocol finds the best selected nodes for communication and prepare separate list for the doubted nodes which further analyzed for attacker or non-attacker nodes. This will help to identify the best path with high energy and other capabilities for the efficient transmission of data. The performance of this proposed protocol is analyzed under 5 attacker nodes in which 2 are blackhole and 3 are DoS attacker nodes. For simulation, the scenario includes minimum 5 connections and maximum 25 connections between the 50 nodes with CBR traffic and 20m/s speed. The evaluated results show the astounding performance of the proposed protocol over the other existed protocols in terms of PDR, Throughput and Delay, and hence it reveals its capabilities. Novelty/Applications: The proposed protocol effectively handles the amalgam attacks and its novelty lie in its features of hybrid optimization and intrusion detection approach to find the route of transmission and the trusty nodes.

“…Route diversion attacks can also be in the shape of a wormhole attack in MANET. The recent work of Tahboush et al [14] has presented a security scheme using the round trip time to reduce delay and explore the tunnel presented by wormhole attack. The study outcome is found to stop both in-band and out-band attacks by wormhole attackers by controlling the transmission range.…”

With the involvement of Mobile Adhoc Network (MANET) in many upcoming technologies and applications, there is an increasing concern about secure data transmission. Until the last decade, various solutions have evolved to circumvent this threat; however, the security issue is still a more significant threat. The problems studied during the review are usage of Complex Cryptographic Usage, Less Energy Efficient, Fewer studies towards Route Diversion Attack, and Less Emphasis towards Securing Beacon. An analytical method has been used to study these problems. This paper introduces a novel scheme that carries out dual operation viz. i) assessing the link legitimacy for detection of route diversion attack, and ii) costeffective countermeasures for the same attack. The key findings of proposed study is token generation process when associated with link legitimacy offers more routing security from various ranges of threats. The broader implication of this finding is that proposed system when characterized by lightweight encryption operation, it is capable of excelling better balance between data transmission and security performance unlike existing security solutions in MANET.
