Abstract
As a mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is dynamically formed by wireless mobile devices, which generally have limited computing resources, low network bandwidth accessibility, and limited power supply, and does not have any physical infrastructure and central base station, network management and operations are done cooperatively by all mobile devices in the network. In consequence, malicious mobile devices can easily join a MANET and launch attacks. Among those attacks, cooperative black hole attack requiring at least two malicious device nodes is a serious security threat since this attack is very easy to launch and hard to detect by other nodes. In this study, we introduce a secure routing protocol to defend against the cooperative black hole attack. Simulation experiments using QualNet has shown that our protocol provides up to 2.6 times performance in terms of the packet delivery ratio when comparing with AODV protocol under cooperative black hole attack.
