Block Chain based Grey Hole Detection Q Learning based CDS Environment in Cloud - MANET

Abstract

Cloud MANET is a latest technique in which individual smart devices joins the Cloud MANET and can communicate in a distributed fashion. This is advantageous, as the Smart device does not need any infrastructural establishments. These nodes communicate together. Several MANETS formed in manner can be connected to cloud and can avail cloud services in real time. In this paper we attempt to establish a virtual backbone of Cloud MANET nodes using the concept Connected Dominating Sets, we also introduced a lightweight security scheme in order to avoid blackhole and greyhole attacks. The algorithm uses Q learning technique for learning about the capacity of nodes and establishes the CDS in Cloud MANET. The entire set up is established with public key infrastructure to emulate block chain based security. The concept of smart contract is used to ensure that every transaction is recorded and any compromised nodes in the CDS is discovered and eliminated.
