MANET (Mobile ad hoc network) is one of the most frequently used research domain in communication technology. MANET provides random mobility, decentralized control and wireless communication. Due to these properties, in current scenario the network suffers from various security threats and performance issues. Therefore, security enhancement in MANET is required. In MANET, security can be improved by cryptography and trust based solution. We are investigating a new solution using trust based approach in MANET.
There are various attacks on network layer in MANET. Wormhole attack is a severe attack; malicious node by cooperating with another node forwards the packets from one node to another by creating a tunnel. There by these cooperative mischievous nodes attract the legitimate traffic to use their tunnel. Hence security is compromised.
In order to defend against the wormhole attach the proposed work uses, combination of parameters like energy, number of connections and buffer length of a node. Trust value of node is computed based on these parameters. The approach compares trust of node with threshold value of network trust. The result of this comparison clarifies that selected node is either malicious or legitimate.
The proposed concept is implemented by extending AODV (Ad hoc On Demand Distance Vector) routing protocol and the performance of the proposed routing protocol is evaluated and compared with the AODV under attack. According to the comparative outcomes the performance of the proposed trust based security approach is much efficient and adoptable against wormhole attacks in MANET.
