“…At Medium Access Control layer, passive eavesdropping and jamming attack will decrease the traffic transmission rate. At network layer, black hole, gray hole, worm hole attacks [61] , flooding attacks [62] , and replay attacks [63] can bring failed data transmission. Flooding and desynchronization attacks can occur at transport layer.…”

Wireless mesh network (WMN) is a type of self-healing, self-configuration, and peer-to-peer wireless network. Without expensive and fixed base stations, WMN can be established fast, easily, and flexibly at a low cost. The convenience and flexibility of establishing WMN brings a wide range of applications. The request of high bandwidth, high coverage and high transmission rate can be satisfied. Current research on WMN involves routing, resource allocation, mobility control, security and so on. With the increasing concern of green communication, improving energy efficiency is more and more important nowadays. As energy harvesting can overcome energy constraints and extend the network lifetime, it has attracted the great attention from many researchers when designing network. Further, WMN is an important networking mode in next-generation communication to guarantee the quality of service and reduce the networking complexity. Due to such importance, a survey of the research and development in WMN including the future research direction and opportunities is given in this paper.

“…The Figure 2 illustrates a typical replay attack scenario where malicious MN, in the first step, intercepts and records signed messages listened from sender MN S. In second step and after a waiting time, within the timestamp discrepancy interval t  , the attacker MN resends the stored signed messages, towards the receive MN D. As a result, all re-send messages by the replay attacker that verify the timestamp discrepancy present an overhead of messages which impact directly the network performance. Recent works [22][23][24] are still using, in the process of message signature, a prefixed timestamp discrepancy t  negotiated in the step of encryption key exchange [25]. This choice of static timestamp gives a greatest weakness due to its independence on MN characteristics and duration of communication.…”

Mobile Ad hoc NETworks (MANETs), characterized by the free move of mobile nodes are more vulnerable to the trivial Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks such as replay attacks. A replay attacker performs this attack at anytime and anywhere in the network by interception and retransmission of the valid signed messages. Consequently, the MANET performance is severally degraded by the overhead produced by the redundant valid messages. In this paper, we propose an enhancement of timestamp discrepancy used to validate a signed message and consequently limiting the impact of a replay attack. Our proposed timestamp concept estimates approximately the time where the message is received and validated by the received node. This estimation is based on the existing parameters defined at the 802.11 MAC layer

Protection of the network layer in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) imply cryptographically signed routing messages. Identity-based signature (IBS) schemes make bandwidth consuming certificate exchanges obsolete. User identifiers serve as public keys. However, long-term identifiers are required.This paper analyzes the applicability of IBS schemes for securing routing information in MANETs for emergency and rescue operations. The Optimized Link State Routing protocol (OLSR) serves as example.
