Securing Dynamic Source Routing by Neighborhood Monitoring in Wireless Adhoc Network

Abstract

Wireless Adhoc Network (WANET) significantly contributes to cost-effective network formulation due to decentralized and infrastructure-less schemes. One of the primary forms of WANET in Mobile Adhoc Network (MANET) is still evolving in research and a continued set of research problems associated with security. A review of existing security approaches shows that identifying malicious behavior in MANET is still an open-end problem irrespective of various methods. This paper introduces an improved DSR protocol mechanism of neighborhood monitoring scheme towards analyzing the malicious behavior in the presence of an unknown attacker of dynamic type. The proposed method contributes to deploying auxiliary relay nodes and retaliation nodes to control the communication process and prevent the attacker from joining the network. Using analytical research methodology, the proposed system can offer better communication performance with effective resistance from threats in MANET.
