Secure Routing in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks

Mobile Ad Hoc Networks play a very important role in the present world. They are significant in real-life applications such as military use, home and emergency services, automotive computing, personal area networks, wireless sensor networks, and wireless mesh networks. Mobile Ad hoc networks are highly adaptive and face various attacks, including Fabrication, Denial of Service, Grayhole attacks, Black Hole attacks, and others. This book proposes a robust, secure, and efficient approach for detecting Blackhole attacks in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs). The algorithm is implemented within the AODV protocol. In this approach, a solution based on inspecting the DSN is provided. If the value exceeds the threshold, the node is identified as malicious. After detecting the malicious node, a confirmation phase is conducted to verify the presence of Blackhole nodes.
