Protector Control PC-AODV-BH in The Ad Hoc Networks

TL;DR

This paper introduces PC-AODV-BH, a protector control mechanism for securing AODV routing in ad hoc networks against black hole attacks, using cryptographic techniques and fidelity concepts, validated through NS2 simulations.

Contribution

The paper proposes a novel protector control protocol, PC-AODV-BH, combining hash functions, digital signatures, and fidelity to defend against black hole attacks in ad hoc networks.

Findings

PC-AODV-BH outperforms SAODV in security metrics

Effective in neutralizing malicious black hole nodes

Improves routing stability and packet delivery

Abstract

In this paper we deal with the protector control that which we used to secure AODV routing protocol in Ad Hoc networks. The considered system can be vulnerable to several attacks because of mobility and absence of infrastructure. While the disturbance is assumed to be of the black hole type, we purpose a control named "PC-AODV-BH" in order to neutralize the effects of malicious nodes. Such a protocol is obtained by coupling hash functions, digital signatures and fidelity concept. An implementation under NS2 simulator will be given to compare our proposed approach with SAODV protocol, basing on three performance metrics and taking into account the number of black hole malicious nodes
