Detection and Prevention of Worm hole Attack to Improve Traffic in VANET

Abstract: A Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) made up of spatially dispersed independent devices using sensors is vulnerable to many different types of threats and attacks due to a number of factors, including the unattended deployment in an untrusted environment, the limited network resources, the ease of network access, and the range of radio transmission. One of these weaknesses is the wormhole attack, in which a hacker sets up a low-latency link between sensor nodes in order to sabotage them, use up network resources, and steal sensitive information. This essay outlines the WSN wormhole attack and provides a critical assessment of the defences. Wireless sensor network defences against wormhole attacks and wormhole detection methods are contrasted and evaluated for their efficacy (WSN). Because there are unwanted attackers present, secure communication is absolutely necessary for the community. The bundle appears to be disintegrating, but most likely due to the attacker, according to the wormhole. If the intrusion is discovered in time, the perpetrator can be found and expelled from the network before any potentially dangerous actions are taken or data is corrupted. Similar to that, the suggested Worm hole serves as a deterrent and protects you. Information on entrance tactics that might be utilised to protect the access point can be found using the suggested device. The performance of the prior device, which is also the best and safest network to use, can be used to assess the correctness of the results. The packets connecting the nodes to the network can be used to calculate the agreement's cost

A cluster-based approach against wormhole attacks in MANETs among smart grid

Mobile ad hoc networks in smart grid become more and more popular and significant. However, the deployment scenarios, the functionality requirements and the limited capabilities make them vulnerable to a large group of attacks, e.g., wormhole attacks. In this paper, a novel cluster-based scheme is proposed for the purpose of preventing wormhole attacks. Firstly, a clustering algorithm is proposed that employs a powerful analytical hierarchy process methodology to elect clusterheads. Afterwards, the elected clusterheads are required to implement the wormhole attacks prevention scheme which includes two phases, i.e., detection phase and location phase. By detection phase, the existence of wormhole attacks can be detected. By location phase, the wormhole nodes are able to be detected. Simulation results indicate the scheme in our paper can be used to prevent wormhole attacks in ad hoc networks efficiently.

Impact of wormhole attack on AODV routing protocol in vehicular ad-hoc network over real map with detection and prevention approach

Vehicular Ad-hoc Network (VANET) is a subclass of Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET) which provides the safety measure and other different applications to the drivers of the vehicles. The goal of VANET is to fulfil the requirements of users on roadside area, which improves the safe and comfortable journey. Secure routing is the main issue in VANET. Dynamic topology and wireless networking makes the VANET vulnerable to numerous sorts of attacks. Wormhole is one of the extreme assaults in VANET. This type of attack disturbs the working of routing protocol such as Ad hoc On demand Distance Vector (AODV) routing protocol. The motivation of this research work is that by using proposed detection and prevention approach the VANET can be made more secure. The results show how the performance of AODV routing protocol is affected by wormhole. In this research paper the impact of wormhole attack is analysed in terms of throughput, packer delivery ratio, and end-to-end delay. An approach is also proposed to detect and prevent wormhole attack in VANET over a real map on different vehicle densities based on multipath concept.

Prevention of Attacks in Mobile Ad Hoc Network using African Buffalo Monitoring Zone Protocol

Mobile ad hoc networks (MANET) can be utilized for communicating wirelessly. However, MANET is affected by many attacks and malicious activities. In MANET, the prevention approach is necessary to secure communication. MANET is easily affected by numerous attacks such as wormhole (WH) attack, Grey-hole (GH) attack, and black-hole (BH) attack in which the sender hubs can’t able to transmits the message to the target node due to the malicious behavior. To prevent the attacks in MANET, this research introduces a novel routing protocol as African Buffalo Monitoring Zone Protocol (ABMZP). This approach is utilized for preventing wormhole attack and other malicious activities in MANET. This mechanism monitors the communication channel continuously and identifies the attack detection. Sequentially, the ABMZP approach prevents the harmful nodes and finds the alternate path for communication. The simulation of this research is done with the use of Network Simulator 2 (NS-2) and finally, the efficiency of the projected ABMZP work outcomes are compared with the latest existing techniques and provides superior results.

Deteksi dan Pencegahan Serangan Wormhole pada Protokol Routing AOMDV menggunakan Gabungan Metode Delphi dan RTT-TC pada Jaringan MANET

Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) is a network consisting of a group of mobile nodes that don't have a fixed infrastructure. This causes the MANET to be vulnerable to attacks that can interfere with the process of communication and data transmission on the network. One type of attack that can attack the MANET is a wormhole attack. The wormhole is an attack on a network where there are two or more wormhole nodes that are interconnected and work together to attack network traffic or discard data packets it receives. Each wormhole node will be connected to each other using a wormhole link. To prevent wormhole attacks, the method that can be used is the Delay Per Hop Indicator (Delphi) method and the Round Trip Time and Topological Comparison (RTT-TC) method. The Delphi detects wormhole attacks by calculating the delay in each hop from the source node to the destination node. Whereas in the RTT-TC, wormhole attacks are detected by calculating the value of round trip time and topological comparison. The Delphi and RTT-TC methods have their advantages and disadvantages. In this study, it was proposed to combine the Delphi and RTT-TC methods to cover the disadvantage of each method.

Modified secure AODV protocol to prevent wormhole attack in MANET

SummaryAn Adhoc network is a combination of mobile nodes that works without centralized infrastructure. Every mobile node acts as host and routers. Furthermore, it also forward packets to other mobile nodes in network which are not within the direct transmission range. Mobile Ad hoc networks are easily exposed to various network layer attacks that include black hole, wormhole, and DOS attack. Wormhole attack is one among the severe attacks in MANET. Wormhole attacker receives the packets at any particular location in the network and disturbs the flow of packet by tunneling them to another location. In this paper, advanced mechanism is presented against these wormhole attacks in a MANET. Existing methods use Quality of Service (QoS) for entire network to detect attacks. Our method makes use of the packet delivery ratio and round trip time for each node, and it also detects active and passive attacks. Thus, the complete identification of wormhole attack is possible using the proposed method.

A lightweight technique for detection and prevention of wormhole attack in MANET

A mobile ad-hoc network (MANET) is an ordinary and self-orbiting communication network that is capable of managing mobile nodes. Many proposed protocols on MANET address its vulnerability against different threats and attacks. The malicious node exploits these vulnerabilities to lunch attacks, especially when nodes have mobility and network do not have constant topology, like wormhole attack. This paper presents a lightweight technique that detects the wormhole attacks in MANET. In the proposed technique, the source node calculates the average sequence number of the reply (RREP) packets. If the sequence number of the corresponding node exceeds the calculated average value of the sequence number, then all traffic is discarded, and the node is marked as malicious. The proposed technique is less complex, power-efficient, and enhances network lifetime as more data packets are delivered to the destination node. This technique is validated through comprehensive simulations results in NS2.

MLAMAN: a novel multi-level authentication model and protocol for preventing wormhole attack in mobile ad hoc network

Wormhole attack is a serious security issue in Mobile Ad hoc Network where malicious nodes may distort the network topology and obtain valuable information. Many solutions, based on round trip time, packet traversal time, or hop-count, have been proposed to detect wormholes. However, these solutions were only partially successful in dealing with node high-speed mobility, variable tunnel lengths, and fake information by malicious nodes. To address those issues, this paper proposes a novel multi-level authentication model and protocol (MLAMAN) for detecting and preventing wormhole attacks reliably. MLAMAN allows all intermediate nodes to authenticate control packets on a hop-by-hop basis and at three levels: (1) the packet level where the integrity of the packets can be verified, (2) the node membership level where a public key holder-member can be certified, and (3) the neighborhood level where the neighborhood relationship between nodes can be determined. The novelty of the model is that it prevents malicious nodes from joining the network under false information and pretense. It detects wormhole nodes effectively under various scenarios including variable tunnel lengths and speeds of moving nodes. The effectiveness of our approach is confirmed by simulation results through various scenarios.

A SOLUTION TO DETECT AND PREVENT WORMHOLE ATTACKS IN MOBILE AD HOC NETWORK

Wormhole attack is one of varied types of Denial-of-Service attacks in Mobile Ad hoc Network. For purpose of attack, the attackers use the two malicious nodes connected with each other by a tunnel that is aimed at eavesdropping or damaging the data packet. Previous researches aiming at securing against the wormhole attacks was published, typical as detection algorithms based on Round Trip Time or Packet Traversal Time, or hop-count based analysis. They have the detection effectiveness is mitigated on the network topology with high mobility nodes, and depends on tunnel length. This article proposes a Valid Route Testing Mechanism (VRTM) and integration of VRTM into AODV protocol to make DWAODV which is able to detect and prevent the wormhole attacks. Using Network Simulator (NS2), we evaluate the security effectiveness of DWAODV protocol on random movement network topology at high speed. The simulation results shows that our solution is capable of detecting successfully over 99% of invalid routes, and small depend on tunnel length. In addition, in the normal network topology, the routing performance of DWAODV is approximately as AODV based on the metrics including the average length of each discovered routing path, packet delivery ratio, network throughput and routing load.

Comparative Study of Attacks with Clustering based and Routing Protocols in MANETs

A mobile ad-hoc network is a self-configuring, substructure network of mobile devices associated by wireless links. Loopholes like wireless average, lack of a secure infrastructure, dynamic topology, rapid disposition practices, and the hostile surroundings in which they may be deployed, make MANET susceptible to a wide range of security attacks and Wormhole attack is one of them. During this attack malicious node detentions packets from one location in the network, and channels them to another colluding malicious node at a detached point, which replays them locally. The protocol is an optimization of the traditional link state algorithm personalised to the supplies of a mobile wireless LAN. The key concept used in the procedure is that of multipoint relays. MPRs are selected nodes which advancing broadcast messages during the flooding process. This technique significantly reduces the message overhead as associated to a classical flooding apparatus, where every node retransmits each message when it receives the first copy of the message. In OLSR, link state information is caused only by nodes elected as MPRs. Thus, a second optimization is achieved by reducing the number of control messages flooded in the network. This paper presents a cluster based Wormhole attack prevention technique. The concept of classified clustering with a novel hierarchical 32bit node addressing scheme is used for eluding the attacking path during the route discovery phase of the OLSR protocol, which is measured as the under lying routing protocol.

Detection and Prevention of Wormhole Attack in Wireless Sensor Network using AOMDV Protocol

Unique characteristics like limited bandwidth, limited battery power and dynamic topology makes Wireless sensor network (WSN) vulnerable to many kinds of attacks. Therefore interest in research of security in WSN has been increasing since last several years. Infrastructure less and self-governing nature of WSN is challenging issue in terms of security. Wormhole attack is one of the severe attack in wireless sensor network. In this paper, the techniques dealing with wormhole attack in WSN are surveyed and a method is proposed for detection and prevention of wormhole attack.
