Developing an Efficient Hybridized Routing Protocol for Mitigation of Flooding Attacks in Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks

EH Gadzama, IR Saidu

Abstract


Mobile Networks Ad-Hoc (MANET) are wireless communication technologies that connect mobile devices such as phones, laptops, and smart devices by providing flexibility, seamless communication, and mobility to all devices in the network. MANET is also a continuously self-configuring, infrastructure-less network of mobile devices connected wirelessly. Because there is no central control infrastructure to monitor and control the devices that join the network, MANET has security flaws. MANET is characterized by these security flaws, which make it vulnerable to attacks such as denial of service attacks. Among the various attacks that exist in the MANET environment, packet flooding is a common one that has a devastating effect on MANET nodes and, if left undetected, can result in the entire network crashing. There is a requirement for data to be kept secure and confidential. The separation of trusted nodes from malicious nodes, as well as the protection of data packets from attackers, are the study goals in this work. To avoid unauthorized access and detect malicious nodes, a highly secure Hybrid Trust-based Anonymous Authenticated Routing Protocol (HTBAARP) is being developed to mitigate flooding assaults. This will be accomplished by combining a Trusted Management Scheme (TMS) with a Modified Authenticated Anonymous Routing Protocol (MAASR). To evaluate performance, simulation will be performed using NS-2 in conjunction with MATLAB R2020a. The suggested method is predicted to increase network throughput, packet delivery ratio and routing interruption by reducing routing delay and overhead.
