A Low-Latency and High-Throughput Multipath Technique to Overcome Black Hole Attack in Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MTBD)

Abstract

Security in MANETs is a highly contentious topic in the field of network management. The availability and functionality of a MANET might be compromised by a variety of attacks. One of the most prevalent active attacks used to degrade network speed and reliability is the black hole attack, which leads the compromised agent to discard all data packets. The purpose of a black hole node is to trick other access points into thinking that they must use their node as their route to a certain destination. The black hole node in a cable network cannot be detected or eliminated in an AODV network. We improved AODV in this study by utilizing a lighter-weight technique based on timing and baiting for detecting and separating single and collaboration black hole attacks. MANETs have a dynamic topology, an open medium, and a lack of a highly centralized monitoring point, all of which offer security problems. Attacks on security are one of the sorts of attacks. In MANETs, it has no central administration, and mobile devices link to other devices wirelessly. Black holes, insider attacks, gray holes, parallel universes, faulty nodes, and packet drops are all threats that can cause considerable disruption in secure communication. Simulation findings demonstrate that the proposed method significantly outperforms previous techniques in terms of end-to-end delay, throughput, packet delivery ratio, and average energy. A multipath methodology is used in our proposed method to mitigate the black hole attack in MANET. The proposed technique is tested in a simulation reality to see how stable it is in the face of an attack. When the proposed method’s results are compared to those of existing state-of-the-art approaches, it is discovered that the acquired results are satisfactory.
