Abstract

In this paper, blackhole attack in mobile adhoc networks have been investigated. Blackhole attack is the attack in which all traffic is redirected to a specific node, which may not forward any traffic to all other nodes. The test-bed is created and system is developed using AODV as a base routing protocol on the network simulator. Various network performance parameters i.e. throughput, packet delivery ratio, collisions etc. are analyzed before and after attack. There are two existing mechanisms: packet based prevention, request based prevention and one hybrid mechanism for preventing blackhole attack is proposed. On implementation of blackhole attack the performance of the network reduces, but after implementation of detection and prevention mechanisms the performance of MANETs improves significantly and results shows that proposed hybrid technique is better than existing techniques.

Abstract

Due to the wide range of applications, Wireless Sensor Network(WSN) have recently attracted a lot of interest in the research community.WSN consist of large number of low-power sensor nodes, with limited processing, communication and storage resources. Due to limited resources of WSNs, it is challenging to incorporate basic security functions, such as authentication, privacy, confidentiality, availability and integrity etc. In order to protect the sensitive data and the sensor reading, secret keys should be used to encrypt the exchanged messages between communicating nodes. Because of high energy consumption and increased code storage requirement is needed by asymmetric cryptography such as RSA or ECC. Key management is one of the oldest areas in WSN security solution. This paper is devoted to the research on security efficiency for wireless sensor networks. The proposed scheme of IPC(Inter Process Communication) key management is based on the generation and distribution of the individual key, pair-wise key and the cluster head broadcast key. IPC have simulated and shows the performance for energy consumption with increasing number of neighbors, and time taken in individual key establishment with the number of nodes in the network. The security analysis shows that the scheme within this paper meets the unique security needs of the sensor networks.
