“…Numerous solutions have been proposed for providing a secure and reliable certification authority in ad hoc networks [14], [15], [16], [17]. Another problem that has received attention is that of stimulating cooperation among nodes in an ad hoc network and addressing malicious packet dropping [18], [19], [20], [21], [22], [23]. Strategies used include detecting and punishing non-cooperating nodes, rewarding nodes for forwarding packets, concealing the true destination of packets from intermediate nodes, and using redundant data transmissions over multiple paths.…”

Abstract-Initial work in ad hoc routing has considered only the problem of providing efficient mechanisms for finding paths in very dynamic networks, without considering security. Because of this, there are a number of attacks that can be used to manipulate the routing in an ad hoc network. In this paper, we describe these threats, specifically showing their effects on AODV and DSR. Our protocol, named Authenticated Routing for Ad hoc Networks (ARAN), uses public-key cryptographic mechanisms to defeat all identified attacks. We detail how ARAN can secure routing in environments where nodes are authorized to participate but untrusted to cooperate, as well as environments where participants do not need to be authorized to participate. Through both simulation and experimentation with our publicly-available implementation, we characterize and evaluate ARAN and show that it is able to effectively and efficiently discover secure routes within an ad hoc network.

“…Acknowledgement based approaches like [10] and [11] require sending of acknowledgements either by an intermediate node or the destination node to it's upstream neighbours as a proof of packet reception. Probing based approaches like [12] and [13] probe the source to destination path for the identification of packet droppers which involves sending traffic onto a network to sample it's behaviour. The traffic can be in the form of simple probe packets or complex test transactions which is used to obtain metrics pertaining to end-to-end communication points such as latency, loss, and route availability.…”

Most of the existing security mechanisms for detecting the packet droppers in a mobile ad hoc network generally detect the adversarial nodes performing the packet drop individually wherein false accusations upon an honest node by an adversarial node are also possible. In this paper, we propose a security mechanism to detect those nodes performing packet dropping either on their own individually or in collusion such that they cannot evade detection and no false accusations are possible. The detection of adversarial nodes is done by the source node through the analysis of the reports submitted by all the intermediate nodes on the source to destination paths. The composition of the report from each of the intermediate nodes involves certain pre-computed hash values which act as acknowledgments from each receiver node (successor) to the forwarder node (predecessor) and also a secure proof through which each intermediate node claims the packets which have been received within a communication session. The proposed mechanism has minimum communication and computational overhead since the secure proof is based upon a hash computation and report submission is secured through symmetric cryptographic primitives. The report analysis process ensures that evading the detection is not possible even in collusive adversarial model.

Considerable improvements have been made towards providing ad hoc network security. However, conventional lines of defense are inefficient to put all attacks and intrusions off. In view of security limitations, we present a survey of the most relevant survivable initiatives for MANETs. Survivability is defined as the network ability to fulfill correctly its functions even in the presence of attacks or intrusions. We propose a new classification of the defense lines taking into account the resiliencyoriented approach and we identify survivability properties. Survivable initiatives are described and categorized into three groups: routing discovery, data transmission and key management. We observed that security solutions focus still on one network layer or one type of attack, using essentially preventive or reactive mechanisms.
