Detection of Vampire Attack in Wireless Sensor Networks

Abstract: Mobile ad hoc network is a kind of wireless network, in this network communication devices are known as the nodes and the connectivity between nodes are known as links. The nodes are used, these communication links for transferring information between source and target machines. For that purpose node consumes the routing strategies for path discovery and transfer of data. Due to limited connectivity the nodes are also utilizing the relay mechanism or multi-hop mechanism. Due to this network adopt the entire intermediate node in the communication path. This leads issues of internal kind of attacks in network, in this proposed work an internal attack namely vampire attack is investigated and an appropriate method is proposed for implementation and improving security with the performance of network
