An algorithm to detect attacks in mobile ad hoc network

Abstract

Each node in Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANETs) communicates with each other to transfer the packet to destination node. Any anomalous behaviour of a node can confine it from executing this operation and even can disturb the whole network process. Therefore, the need of monitoring the nodes arises to keep a check on the behaviour of a node. In this paper, an algorithm is proposed to monitor the nodes & to check if a node is under attack or not. Moreover, a second layer of security is added which is furnished by a testbed to monitor the nodes. © 2011 Springer-Verlag.
