Performance Analysis Of The Methodologies Proposed To Prevent Black Hole Attacks In Manet

Abstract

Mobile devices are becoming very popular due to the wide range of networking competence for the mobile device users. The security issues in MANET become tedious since the control towards the management of the multiple number of nodes in the MANET is distributed. The node mobility, dynamic topology, bandwidth limitation, insecure wireless communication link and the absence of fixed infrastructure makes the security of data transmission in MANET as a critical issue. There are many routing attacks caused due to lack of security. Any kind of attack in MANET will disturb the entire communication and the total network can be collapsed. Most of the routing protocols do not address the issues of the routing attacks. The most common attack experienced by the MANET is the black hole attack.The various schemes are proposed to  ensure the availability, confidentiality, authenticity and reliability of the information using digital certificate chains and secret sharing schemes. This paper gives a comparative analysis of the various schemes to prevent the black hole attack in MANET.
