To Detect and Overcome Sinkhole Attack in Mobile Ad hoc Network

Abstract

Mobile ad-hoc network abbreviated as MANET is most emerging and highly demanding wireless network technology. Due to the property of self-deliberate, where all point of network behaves like source or router and also all nodes are keeps on moving freely in network area. Mobile ad hoc network perform important role in connectionless environment. Security is the most fundamental requirement in mobile ad hoc network to secure the sensitive information from hackers. In MANETs typically many attacks are routing protocol attacks. Sinkhole attack is one of the most severe attacks in MANETs. It tries to attract all neighbor nodes to itself and broadcast fake or bogus routing path. Here sinkhole attack describes in AODV routing protocol to applying security by using digital signature and hash chain to prevent the attack.
