CSWD - Clustering with Seek Packet for Wormhole Attack Detection and Elimination
Srishti Parashar, Pradeep Kumar, M. Tech Student · 2014
A Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET) is a collection of independent wireless mobile nodes for communication without any established infrastructure. Due to unique characteristics such as dynamic topology, limited bandwidth, and limited battery power make them vulnerable to security attacks. One of the routing protocol attacks, wormhole attack is hard to catch but easy to implement in network with help of tunnelling. This attack can launch a variety of attacks against the data traffic flow such as selective dropping, replay attack, denial of service, packet modification once launched in the network. In this paper, we present an algorithm CSWD for detection and elimination of wormhole attack from the network. A concept called seek packet is used to detect and clustering will eliminate wormhole attack from the network. The algorithm will be implemented in base protocol ZRP (zone routing protocol) which has not been done so far. ZRP will reduce overhead of cluster formation simply with help of zone radius. The algorithm would be implemented using ns2 (network simulator) on Ubuntu OS.
