Preventing layer-3 wormhole attacks in ad hoc networks with multipath DSR
Abstract
dc:descriptionWormhole attacks in ad hoc networks have attracted a great deal of attention over the years. These are serious events involving two malicious nodes tunneling traffic from one end of the network to the other. Several approaches have been proposed to detect these attacks, but only a few solutions exploit the information provided by multipath routing schemes. In this document, we present a review of the most important solutions proposed for counteracting wormhole attacks, as well as a new approach for detecting them. The Witness Integration Multipath protocol is a new approach to searching ad hoc networks to detect and prevent wormhole attacks. This approach exploits the extra network information obtained when the multipath Dynamic Source Routing (DSR) protocol is used and finds suspicious behavior related to such attacks. It does not require any major protocol modification, nor as much cryptographic processing as the solutions previously proposed.
