“…The wormhole attacks in Ad hoc Networks are described in [9] [12] [14] cite where the authors categorize several types of packet tunneling wormhole attacks , including wormhole through the tunnel (called out-of-band channel -OB), wormhole using encapsulation, wormhole using packet relay, and wormhole with high power transmission. Such wormhole attacks may operate in two modes: Hidden Mode (HM) and Participation Mode (PM).…”

Wormhole attack is a serious security issue in Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET) where malicious nodes may distort the network topology and obtain valuable information. Many solutions, based on round trip time, packet traversal time, or hop-count, have been proposed to detect wormholes. However, these solutions were only partially successful in dealing with node highspeed mobility, variable tunnel lengths, and fake information by malicious nodes. To address those issues, this paper proposes a novel multi-level authentication (MLA) model and protocol (MLAMAN) for detecting and preventing wormhole attacks reliably. MLAMAN allows all intermediate nodes to authenticate control packets on a hop-by-hop basis and at three levels: 1) the packet level where the integrity of the packets can be verified, 2) the node membership level where a public key holdermember can be certified, and 3) the neighborhood level where the neighborhood relationship between nodes can be determined. The novelty of the model is that it prevents malicious nodes from joining the network under false information and pretense. It detects wormhole nodes effectively under various scenarios including variable tunnel lengths and speeds of moving nodes. The effectiveness of our approach is confirmed by simulation results through various scenarios.

“…In MANET, node location can't be installed manually due to all random mobility nodes. Our idea is using a GPS information to define node location automatically, as described in authors [11,16]. Notice that the actual neighbors authentication mechanism can be mistaken in mobility network topology at high speeds, will show in Section 4.1. by simulation results.…”

Abstract. Ad hoc On-demand Distance Vector (AODV) is a reactive routing protocols used popularly in Mobile Ad hoc Network. AODV is target of many Denial of Service (DoS) attack types, such as Blackhole/ Sinkhole, Grayhole, Flooding and Whirlwind. There are some published researches to improvement AODV for security goal using digital signature, for example, SAODV and ARAN. However, they have some weakness that a malicious node can attack SAODV by using fake keys and both of SAODV and ARAN routing protocols can not detect wormhole nodes under hide mode. This article proposes a Trust Authentication Mechanisms (TAM) which uses public-key cryptography RSA and digital certificates (DC) based on X509 standard. TAM allows an intermediate node authenticates a preceding nodes by checking all control route packets through 3 steps: (1) Digital certificates; (2) actual neighbors; and (3) packet integrity authentications. The simulation results in NS2 show that TAM can successfully detect and prevent to 100% malicious nodes using fake keys and above 99% (the mistaken rate below 1.0%) wormhole nodes under hide mode for all mobility scenarios where there are nodes move with 30m/s maximum speeds and variable tunnel lengths.

SummaryAn Adhoc network is a combination of mobile nodes that works without centralized infrastructure. Every mobile node acts as host and routers. Furthermore, it also forward packets to other mobile nodes in network which are not within the direct transmission range. Mobile Ad hoc networks are easily exposed to various network layer attacks that include black hole, wormhole, and DOS attack. Wormhole attack is one among the severe attacks in MANET. Wormhole attacker receives the packets at any particular location in the network and disturbs the flow of packet by tunneling them to another location. In this paper, advanced mechanism is presented against these wormhole attacks in a MANET. Existing methods use Quality of Service (QoS) for entire network to detect attacks. Our method makes use of the packet delivery ratio and round trip time for each node, and it also detects active and passive attacks. Thus, the complete identification of wormhole attack is possible using the proposed method.
