Trust Value Algorithm: A Secure Approach against Packet Drop Attack in Wireless Ad-Hoc Networks

Rajendra Aaseri, Pankaj Choudhary and Nirmal Roberts, ABV-Indian Institute of Information Technology, India

ABSTRACT

Wireless ad-hoc networks are widely used because these are very easy to deploy. However, there are various security issues and problems. Two most important issues are interoperability and interaction among various security technologies which are very important to consider for configuration and management point of view. The packet drop ratio in the wireless network is very high as well as packets may be easily delayed by the attacker. Ii is very difficult to detect intruders, so it results into high false positive rate. Packets may be dropped or delayed by intruders as well as external nodes in wireless networks. Hence, there is the need of effective intrusion detection system which can detect maximum number of intruders and the corresponding packets be forwarded through some alternate paths in the network. In this paper we propose an alternate solution to detect the intruders/adversary with help of trust value. It would remove the need of inbuilt IDS in the wireless networks and result into improving the performance of WLAN.
