Responsive Parameter based an AntiWorm Approach to Prevent Wormhole Attack in Ad hoc Networks

Abstract — The recent advancements in the wireless technology and their wide-spread deployment have made remarkable enhancements in efficiency in the corporate and industrial and Military sectors The increasing popularity and usage of wireless technology is creating a need for more secure wireless Ad hoc networks. This paper aims researched and developed a new protocol that prevents wormhole attacks on a ad hoc network. A few existing protocols detect wormhole attacks but they require highly specialized equipment not found on most wireless devices. This paper aims to develop a defense against wormhole attacks as an Anti-worm protocol which is based on responsive parameters, that does not require as a significant amount of specialized equipment, trick clock synchronization, no GPS dependencies.
