An Opportunistic Routing to Secure Data Transmission against Black Hole Attack in MANETs

Mohan Babu G, S Balaji

Abstract: A Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET) is a set of mobile nodes in which every node in the network communicate with each other without any predefined infrastructure and due to mobility the nodes are free to move. Providing security to the moving nodes is a challenge and hence the MANETs are vulnerable to many attacks. One such attack is a black hole attack which blocks the successful delivery of the data to the destination. In this paper; a new routing approach is designed to detect the black hole attack and to achieve secure data transmission by splitting the data into shares. Next propagating the shares in multiple paths; in which the shortest path is selected to reach the destination based on the hop count.

Keywords: MANETs, Black Hole Attack, Routing, Security, Data Splitting
