“…This attack can harm the network very badly. Similar to this attack Bo et al (2007) had found an attack called Rushing attack which can also modify the intended destination by making the Request packet to reach the target faster than the request packet from non malicious nodes making the target to think that the malicious route is the intended route. But, in our scenario the malicious node changes the intended destination by sending a wrongly assigned beacon packet to the target node.…”

“…This algorithm fails if there are other attacks such as sleep deprivation or battery exhaustion which leads to DOS attack in the network. Bo et al (2007) devised a good defence against the rushing attack. This new attack which results in denialof-service attack is introduced in this study.…”

“…Finally one of the popular and most widely used multiple attack secure routing protocols was Ariadne, proposed by, Bo et al (2007). Ariadne prevents attackers or compromised nodes from tampering with uncompromised routes consisting of uncompromised nodes and also prevents a large number of different types of Denial-of-Service attacks.…”

Problem statement: Network security in Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET) is a major issue. Some of the attacks such as modification, impersonation, Time To Live (TTL) and sleep deprivation are due to misbehaviour of malicious nodes, which disrupts the transmission. Some of the existing security protocols such as ARAN, SAODV and SEAD are basically used to detect and eliminate one or two types of attacks. The major requirement of a secure protocol is to prevent and eliminate many attacks simultaneously which will make the MANETs more secured. Approach: We propose the algorithm that can prevent and also eliminate multiple attacks simultaneously, called MIST algorithm (Modification, Impersonation, Sleep deprivation and TTL attacks). This algorithm is written on Node Transition Probability (NTP) based protocol which provides maximum utilization of bandwidth during heavy traffic with less overhead. Thus this has been named MIST NTP. Results: The proposed MIST NTP has been compared with NTP without the MIST algorithm, Authenticated Routing for Ad hoc Networks (ARAN) and Ad hoc on Demand Distance Vector (AODV). Extensive packet level simulations show that MIST NTP produces around 10% less end to end delay than ARAN, it even drops 30% fewer packets compared to malicious NTP on an average and around 50-60% fewer packets compared to AODV during multiple attacks. Conclusion: The results ensure that MIST NTP can break the greatest security challenge prevailing in MANETs by securing the MANET against several attacks at once.

“…MANETs can generally be set up anywhere and anytime due to their dynamic nature. However, as a result of their unique characteristics, MANETs are more vulnerable to various security threats [3] such as grey-hole attacks, black-hole attacks, eavesdropping, denial of service attacks (DoS), etc. when compared to traditional networks.…”

“…Forwarding or routing of data packets by a node requires the consumption of its limited energy without expecting any rewards for its actions. A situation where a significant number of nodes in a MANET selfishly decides to preserve their energy level by minimizing their network participation such as not actively responding to route requests or not forwarding data packets [2], could lead to a degraded network performance [3], and one of the main goals of designing and creating a MANET, i.e., to support vigorous and effective routing operations by ordinary nodes is defeated. Thus, there is a dire need for an efficient reputation and trust management system (RTMS) which encourages the active collaboration of nodes in the network.…”

The distributed nature of mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) presents security challenges and vulnerabilities which sometimes lead to several forms of attacks. To improve the security in MANETs, reputation and trust management systems (RTMS) have been developed to mitigate some attacks and threats arising from abnormal behaviours of nodes in networks. Generally, most reputation and trust systems in MANETs focus mainly on penalising uncooperative network nodes. It is a known fact that nodes in MANETs have limited energy resources and as such, the continuous collaboration of cooperative nodes will lead to energy exhaustion. This paper develops and evaluates a robust Dirichlet reputation and trust management system which measures and models the reputation and trust of nodes in the network, and it incorporates candour into the mode of operations of the RTMS without undermining network security. The proposed RTMS employs Dirichlet probability distribution in modelling the individual reputation of nodes and the trust of each node is computed based on the node’s actual network performance and the accuracy of the second-hand reputations it gives about other nodes. The paper also presents a novel candour two-dimensional trustworthiness evaluation technique that categorises the behaviours of nodes based on their evaluated total reputation and trust values. The evaluation and analyses of some of the simulated behaviours of nodes in the deployed MANETs show that the candour two-dimensional trustworthiness evaluation technique is an effective technique that encourages and caters to nodes that continuously contribute to the network despite the reduction in their energy levels.
