Analysis of Routing and Secure Routing in Hybrid Wireless Mesh Networks

Abstract: Interoperability is one of the main characteristics of Hybrid Wireless Mesh Networks (HWMNs). In HWMNs, network devices have different resource constrains; identifying optimal paths over the heterogeneous environment is a challenging task. Reactive and proactive routing protocols of Ad-Hoc and sensor networks are ineffective in terms of scalability, thus researchers have come up with new routing protocols like cross-layer, and load-balancing protocols. However, these protocols fail to provide basic security to the network, a very few protocols have addressed the security in HWMNs, each of the secure protocol has its own limitations. In this paper, we analyze the issues in HWMNs routing protocols, and the security issues in proactive, reactive and hybrid protocols with respect to various network layer attacks. Based on our analysis, we have proposed the new research directions in terms of improving HWMNs routing functionality in the heterogeneous environment and new security dimensions for optimizing the network node resources and security mechanisms in HWMNs.

Keywords: Interoperability, wireless mesh, core layer attacks, detection, prevention.

Workshop on Cyber Security and Forensics (16th to 20th August 2016) http://svecw.edu.in/docs/CSEFDPCS.pdf    Workshop on Big Data Analytics (2nd to 6th August 2016) http://svecw.edu.in/docs/CSEFDPBigDataAnalytics2016.pdf Rushing attack   Rushing attack is a zero delay attack andmore effective when the attacker nearby source or destination node.On-demand routing protocols like AODV and DSR are more vulnerable to this attack, because whenever source nodefloods the route request packet in the network, an adversary nodereceives the route request packet and sends without any hop_count update and delay intothe network. Whenever the legitimate nodes receive the originalsource request packets, they are dropped because legitimate nodes,would have already received packet from the attacker and treat the currently received packets asduplicate packets. Thus, adversary is included in active routeand disturbs the data forwarding phase. Rushing attack can be takenplace at...

Intrusion Detection Technique for Wormhole and Following Jellyfish and Byzantine Attacks in Wireless Mesh Network

Abstract Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) have emerging application because of its ad-hoc features, high internet bandwidth capability, and interoperable with various networks. However, all features of WMNs vulnerable due to their inadequate security services, and most of the existing techniques protect WMNs from single adversary node, but failed to protect colluding attacks. We proposed new Intrusion Detection (ID) technique, to protect the WMNs from wormhole attack (colluding attack) and following jellyfish and byzantine attacks. The proposed ID technique works based on different delays such as initial end-to-end packet delay, average end-to-end packet delay, and worst case end-to-end packet delay because wormhole attackers attract the network nodes by sending lower latency. Eventually, simulation results show that, our ID technique improves throughput of the network, when source and destination nodes detect and isolate (select new path which does not contain adversaries) the adver...
