Isolation of Wormhole Attackers in IOV Using WPWP Packet

Abstract

IOV is a unique form of VANETS network with a special kind of remote system which is arranged with set of versatile vehicles that can be effortlessly included and expelled from the system with no incorporated organization where each node acts as both sender / receiver and a Hub which forwards the packets. Owing to absence of centralized administration, Nodes in IOV are exposed to various network layer attacks. Among them, the Wormhole attack is one of its kind of attack and must to be addressed with high attention. In this paper, we propose and implement a new algorithm to detect the tunneling attack. The performance of the proposed algorithm is evaluated against various existing algorithms and a comparison is made with our proposed Wormhole Path Watcher Packet (WPWP) technique using NS2 tool.
