VANET and FANET under the impact of the security attack

Abstract

The flying ad hoc network (FANET) is a distributed type of network in which nodes have the ability to join or leave the network at any time as and when needed. FANET is the kind of ad-hoc network just like the Mobile ad-hoc network (MANET) and the Vehicular ad-hoc network (VANET). In our previous work a monitor mode technique is proposed for the detection of malicious nodes in Flying ad-hoc network (FANET). In this research work, a secure architecture for FANET and VANET is designed for the detection and isolation of malicious nodes in the network. The ad-hoc network is unstable when malicious nodes are present in the network which create fake identities, so that security of the network is to be reduced. A multiple copies of fake identities create by Sybil attack which is harmful for the network. In this research work, the performance of the proposed technique for the detection and isolation of malicious node of FANET is compared with VANET. It is analyzed that FANET performs well in terms of all parameters like throughput, packet loss and routing overhead as compare to VANET.
