The Modified Secure AODV Routing Protocol for Black Hole Attack in Manet

Abstract

Mobile Adhoc Network is gathering of portable nodes which are actively structuring a momentary network without utilizing any pre accessible network infrastructure or central management. Each node in MANET not only provides as a specific terminal but also performs as a router to form a route. While a source node plans to send data to an intended node, packets are moved from the middle nodes. An Adhoc routing protocol is a classical method that supervises how nodes opt any route and in which manner they have to route packets among computing devices in a MANET. Because of different factors with lack of infrastructure, deficiency of already established trust relationship among the various nodes and dynamic topology, the MANET routing protocols are weak to different routing attacks. In contrast to conventional wired networks, such type attacks are executed simply in MANET because of the unsupervised entrance to the wireless medium. The malicious exploitation of various routing information results in the diffusion of wrong routing information which could eventually guide to network failure. One of these attacks in the existing wireless routing protocol like Ad-hoc on demand Distance Vector (AODV) Routing protocol is the Black Hole Attack against network truthfulness. In this attack, the data packets doesn’t arrive at the destination node, thus data loss happens. There is number of detection and protection methods to reduce the intruder that achieve the black hole attack. Therefore, this paper proposes Modified Secure AODV routing protocols (MSAODV) found on threshold evaluation and cryptographic verification. In this paper, the black hole attack and the proposed MSAODV protocols are simulated in the Network Simulator NS-2 under different MANET circumstances and their performances are evaluated on various parameters like Packet drop ratio, routing overload, throughput etc.
