Discovering of Wormhole Node by Hop-count and Delay

Abstract

In wireless Network, a decentralized type of wireless network called wireless ad-hoc network is a infrastructure less network i.e., it does not depend on existing infrastructure. Mobile Ad-hoc network (MANET) is a kind of wireless Adhoc network. MANET is a self-arranging, infrastructure less and decentralized network consists of two or more mobile devices connected without wires. Due to the characteristics of MANET like self-arranging, decentralize and infrastructure less, is prone to security threats A lot of research has been done MANET security but an adequate efficient solution is not found yet. In this paper we propose a new mechanism to detect the attacker using MANET metrics like Hop-count and delay.
