Abstract
The unique features of mobile ad hoc networks (potential nodes and link mobility) raise certain requirements for the security mechanism. A particularly challenging problem is how to feasibly detect and screen possible attacks on routing protocols such as Byzantine and Black hole attacks. This work focus on detecting routing Black Hole and Byzantine routing attacks through security and trust based routing. A secure auto configuration scheme is adapted and enhanced with secure public-key distribution to authorize the nodes joining the Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET). Integrity in messages between source and destination is achieved via public key cryptographic mechanism and keyed Hash MAC over a shared secret key. The proposed schemes can be integrated with the existing routing protocols for MANETs, such as ad hoc on-demand distance vector routing (AODV) and dynamic source routing (DSR). Introducing security mechanisms over routing in MANETs might cause significant overhead and power consumption. Hence a security mechanism considering the tradeoff between security and energy consumption is proposed. A routing algorithm to establish parallel routes in order to build trust over paths and nodes in those paths is devised. So, that compromising nodes can be detected and paths involving those nodes are ignored. The proposed protocol “Secure Routing Protocol to combat Byzantine and Black Hole attacks” (SRPBB) is implemented in ns2 for throughput analysis in presence of attack.
