“…They highlighted security attacks that MANET routing protocols are vulnerable to and identified mechanisms such as cryptography schemes, key management, and special hardware using GPS as some possible solutions to such attacks. Similarly, Kannhavong et al [6] surveyed routing attacks in MANETs. They investigated various security issues in MANETs and examined routing attacks, such as flooding, black holes, wormholes, replays, link spoofing, and colluding attacks, as well as solutions to such attacks in MANETs.…”

Secure communications is essential in many areas such as disaster management and battlefield communications. To detect and prevent attacks in such applications, most existing protocols adopt a cryptography-based approach, trust-based approach (reputation of nodes), or incentive-based approach. However, such protocols still have drawbacks, such as expensive overhead, difficulty in maintaining secure key and session management, or leaving routes unsecured against Byzantine attacks. In this paper, we introduce a monitoring-based method in the link state routing protocol to secure the packets' route against Byzantine attacks. The goal of our proposed scheme is to guarantee communication among connected benign nodes in the network. Specifically, each node monitors the action of neighboring nodes and compares the optimal packet route against the packet route history. Nodes in the network create a packet history field which is used to record all activities of an intermediate node when receiving and forwarding packets. Our scheme provides mutual monitoring in which nodes in the network can validate the packet history field of other nodes and report malicious activities. Also, our scheme uses a statistical method to know if a node is dropping packets intentionally by analyzing the packet dropping behavior of each node. The proposed scheme provides protection against colluding attacks and other Byzantine attacks. The proposed monitoring-based method achieves an average of 89% to 96% packet delivery ratio when 11% to 21% active malicious links are excluded from the network.

“…Romit roy Choudhury, S. Bandyopadhyay and Krishna Paul [9] proposed a distributed Mechanism for Topology discovery in Ad Hoc Wireless Networks Using Mobile Agents where they have defined a concept of information aging on link affinity based on which a predictive algorithm running on each node can predict the current Network topology based on the current Network information stored at that node. Link affinity, associated with a link between two nodes n and m, is a prediction about span of life of that link in a particular context.…”

Security is considered as one of the major challenge when it comes to infrastructure less and self dependent network without any centralized control. The vulnerability of Adhoc Network makes it susceptible to external attacks like flooding of hello messages or propagating fake routing messages etc. Such attacks generates a variety of problems like disturbing the network by flooding messages that results in waste of battery which is a vital resource to maintain the life span of the network. Most importantly cause agents to die when unable to reach destination due to fake routing messages causing a heavy loss on part of the nodes generating them to maintain the route knowledge. The paper proposes a novel technique to identify the flooding attack and measure to overcome them using Multi-Agent system Keyword:AdHoc network system External attack in MANET Flooding attacks Optimal agents in multi-agent system

“…A first category of research we studied did not specifically cover AMIs but were useful in clarifying the threats common to wireless networks. For instance, [5] examines attacks on wireless networks to motivate solutions to address the privacy issue, [6] developed a threat model to guide the design of a secure WLAN architecture, [7] and [8] study threats on mobile ad-hoc networks (MANET), [9] focuses on sensor networks, and [10] and [11] investigate threats specific to mesh networks.…”

Abstract-Advanced Metering Infrastructures (AMI) facilitate bidirectional communication between smart meters and utilities, allowing information about consumption, outages, and electricity rates to be shared reliably and efficiently. However, the numerous smart meters being connected through mesh networks open new opportunities for attackers to interfere with communications and compromise utilities' assets or steal customers' private information.The goal of this paper is to survey the various threats facing AMIs and the common attack techniques used to realize them in order to identify and understand the requirements for a comprehensive intrusion detection solution. The threat analysis leads to an extensive "attack tree" that captures the attackers' key objectives (e.g., energy theft) and the individual attack steps (e.g., eavesdropping on the network) that would be involved in achieving them. With reference to the attack tree, we show the type of information that would be required to effectively detect attacks. We also suggest that the widest coverage in monitoring the attacks can be provided by a hybrid sensing infrastructure that uses both a centralized intrusion detection system and embedded meter sensors.
