A Survey on Impersonation Attack in Wireless Networks
R. Regan, J. Martin Leo Manickam · International Journal of Security and Its Applications · 2017
Commucation being a mode of sending and receiving understanding is gaining extra popularity in today's world.Today wireless systems are increasingly getting used for primary conversation and undertaking to hold electronic knowledge transmissions comfortable.Almost always, it's problematic to implement mighty security in smallfootprint devices having low processing power, low memory capacity and utilising unreliable, low bandwidth.Impersonation attack may be very common in these days in wireless network, but the principal hindrance is the security.There is lots of solution provided by different researcher but still faces research challenge.Impersonation attacks are also known as spoofing attacks.The attacker assumes the identification of one more node in the network, as a result receiving messages directed to the node it fakes.As a rule this would be some of the first steps to intervene a network with the intention of accomplishing further assaults to disrupt operation.In this paper we describe the causes of Wireless impersonation attack, their vulnerable effects and various defense mechanisms for defending this attack.
