Attacks are common in Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANETs) due to characteristics like open medium, dynamically changing network topology, node mobility and internode trust. Malicious nodes in MANET may not comply with the protocol specification of a particular layer. Malicious nodes may exploit the inherent vulnerability to launch an attack. In this paper, we analyze a protocol compliant JellyFish Delay Variance (JFDV) attack, launched at network layer. In this attack, the malicious node includes itself in route to destination and participates in data forwarding. But, malicious node delays data packet while forwarding it to upstream nodes. This behavior of malicious node affects throughput of the network. Effect of JFDV attack with reactive protocol has been investigated in existing literature. We analyze the effect of JFDV attack using both reactive and proactive protocols. We investigate that characteristics of proactive protocols make them resistant to JFDV attack as compare to reactive protocols.

Mobile ad hoc network is appealing mechanization in many applications, including disaster recovery and communication systems and rescue due to the flexibility offered by the diverse network. An equivalent network, although it has been found that legitimate can operate independently, or may link to the wider Internet. A framework has been introduced in recent years operators and attackers, have used this network environment. Mobile Ad hoc Network is the main concern about dynamic routing access. Mobile ad hoc network provides several well-known protocols for routing responsive like DSR, AODV, TORA, etc. AODV can route both unicast and multicast. AODV routing protocol cannot protect against a wormhole attack. In this paper, we implement a technique of pseudo-DNA cryptography, focused on the molecular biology’s central dogma. In this approach, we simulate the central dogma's transcription and translation process, and even some extra features to make it difficult to crack the resulting ciphertext and defense against wormhole attack. In the sense of ratio for packet drop, throughput and the delay between two nodes we also examine the impact of the wormhole attack on a parameter of ad hoc network.

Because of inherent characteristics of mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs), security attacks have pronounced effect on performance of the network. JellyFish Delay Variance (JFDV) attack is a kind of protocol compliant, cross layer attack that reduces throughput of network by delaying data packets during forwarding them. In this paper, we propose a non-cryptography approach which is resilient against JFDV attack for Optimized Link State Routing (OLSR) protocol. Proposed approach labels a node as misbehaving node after comparing its performance against Delay Threshold. Process of re-routing is initiated to route the data packet through the path consisting of non-attacking nodes. We analyze the performance of our approach on Packet Delivery Ratio (PDR) of network with different fraction of JF nodes and system size. Through extensive simulation and result, we show that proposed approach provides a secure architecture to thwart JFDV attack in MANET.
