“…In wormhole attack, two or more malicious nodes together makes a tunnel in the network, in which the traffic is enter from one end and passes through the tunnel and leaves from the other end [10]. Wormhole link or tunnel can be created by means of a high quality wireless link or a logical link.…”

Wireless networks are playing very important role in the present world. Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANET) are the extension of the wireless networks. These networks are playing crucial role in the each and every field of the human life. They are used in those places where a simple wireless network cannot use. They play a significant role in real tile applications such as military applications, home applications wireless sensor applications etc. Due to their adaptive nature they are threatened by number of attacks such as Modification, Black Hole attack, Wormhole attack etc. Wormhole attack is one of the dangerous active attacks in the mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANET). In this paper a secure and efficient approach for the detection of the wormhole attack in the Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANET) is described. The algorithm is implemented in a very popular on demand routing protocol, called DSR (Dynamic Source Routing) protocol. In this approach the solution is provided by sending the Hound Packet in the order of Fibonacci series and also modifies the table entries in terms of storing them in sorted order, so that the processing of Route Discovery becomes faster.

“…As a result, they corrupt nodes' perception of network topology. Existing wormhole solutions, e.g., Packet Leases [16], TrueLink [17], connectivity based solution [18], can be used, but they typically incur huge overhead and thus may nullify the performance gain of network coding.…”

Abstract-Some ad hoc network scenarios are characterized by frequent partitions and intermittent connectivity. A store-and-forward network architecture known as the disruption tolerant network (DTN) has been designed for such challenging network environments. To further improve the delivery performance, some researchers have proposed some network coding schemes for DTNs. However, not much papers discuss the security issues of network coding schemes in DTNs. In this paper, we first discuss some attacks that can be launched against network coding schemes in DTNs. Then, we focus on evaluating the impact of selective data dropping attacks on the delivery performance of a network coding scheme we design for DTN. Next, we describe a mitigation scheme that we design to overcome such attacks. Our mitigation scheme uses dynamic redundancy factor to generate more coded packets when a source notices performance degradation in the delivery performance. Via simulation studies, we show that our mitigation scheme is effective in restoring the performance degradation caused by the selective dropping attacks as long as alternate DTN paths exist for a source/destination pair.
