Security Enhanced DSR protocol to prevent Black hole attacks in MANETs

Abstract

The dynamic changing nature of network topology makes any node in MANET to leave and join the network at any point of time. There are many routing protocols that establish the routes between the nodes in the network. The control towards the management of the nodes in the MANET is distributed. This feature does not give assurance towards the security aspects of the network. There are many routing attacks caused due to lack of security. The routing attack addressed in this paper is the black hole attack. The Black hole attack is that where a malicious node advertises itself as it is having the optimal route to the destination. Most of the Routing protocols do not address the issues of the routing attack. This paper describes a solution strategy which will overcome the black hole attacks in MANETs. The proposed solution is that the nodes authenticate each other by issuing security certificate in digital form to all the other nodes in the network. The proposed method is to be adapted on DSR protocol .This method is capable of detecting and removing black hole nodes in the MANET. KeywordsBlack hole attack, DSR, Security certificate.

A Biogeography-Based Optimization (BBO) With AOMDV for Mitigating Black Hole Attacks

“…One of the most common attacks experienced in the MANET is the black hole attack. Selvavinayaki and Karthikeyan [4] had addresses certain solutions that were security-oriented in order to prevent black hole attacks with digital certificates that could authenticate routes at the time of route discovery. The authentication of digital certificates can avoid black hole nodes during route discovery.…”

A Novel Approach to Secured Network Selection

“…The digital signature is a self organized and PKI authenticated by a chain of nodes without the use of a trusted third party [5]. It is further dependent on consistency, effectiveness and reliability of the mechanism used.…”

Formal verification of a new authenticated and optimized version of AOMDV for WSN

“…Moreover, the one‐way key chain generated by TESLA does not fit into the memory of a traditional sensor node. The derived version, named μTESLA, provides authenticated streaming broadcast for WSN. Many secured versions of AODV have been developed as in Fang et al and Tobarra et al, and many enhanced versions of μTESLA have been developed .…”
