Node Verification to Prohibit Flooding Attack in Mobile Ad-hoc Network
Anup Wanjari · 2015
Mobile ad-hoc network is a group of two or more devices or nodes with the capability of communication and networking. It is an infrastructure less network. Such network may operate by them or may be connected to a larger internet. Due to its mobility and self-routing capability nature, there are many weaknesses in its security. The security of the network from various attacks is an important issue in MANET application now days. Due to the dynamically changing topology, open environment and lack of centralized security infrastructure, a mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is vulnerable to many attacks. One of them is flooding attack whose aim is to drain off limited resources of MANET node by continuously sending Route Request control Packet, false route information or fake data packets. The main goal of our approach is to provide resource aware node authentication framework to avoid flooding attack in MANET.
