Review Research Study on Wormhole Attack in MANET
Keywords:
Ad Hoc Networks, Malicious Node, Wormhole attackAbstract
A MANET (Mobile Ad-hoc network) is a self-configuring infrastructure-less network of mobile devices connected by wireless. Ad-hoc wireless network is not secure to the attacks of malicious nodes. Out of all the attacks caused by malicious nodes, the most devastating attack is thought to be the wormhole attack, wherein two or more malicious colluding nodes produce a high-level virtual tunnel (or secret tunnel) within the network that transports packets from one location in the network to another. The malicious nodes record transmitted packets at one location and retransmit them into the network at another location. Even if all communication provides authenticity and confidentiality, the wormhole attack is still feasible. This paper presents a study on wormhole attack and its countermeasures in ad-hoc wireless networks, along with the future research scope.
