A Review on Detection and Prevention Techniques of Wormhole Attack in MANETs

Darshana Sorathiya, Haresh Rathod

Abstract: A Mobile Ad-Hoc Network (MANET) is an infrastructure less or a self-configured collection of mobile nodes that can randomly change their geographic locations such that these networks have dynamic topologies and random mobility with constrained resources. It usually works by broadcasting the information. Its nature is broadcasting so there is a chance to disrupt network by attacker. The number of attack can be done in Mobile Ad Hoc Network. This paper analysed different technique to detect and prevent wormhole attack and compare them.
