Avoiding Brute Force attack in MANET using Honey Encryption

Vinayak P P ^[2] | Nahala M A ^[2]

Abstract: Mobile adhoc network includes wireless mobile nodes that are capable of communicating with each other without the use of a network infrastructure. This MANET is vulnerable to different types of attacks due to the certain features of network. Lot of attacks are there in MANET. Brute forcing is one of the attack that can create problem in communication in a MANET network. Mainly focusing on single hoc MANET Honey encryption can prevent such attacks during the normal encrypted data transmission. This is new type of encryption in which when an attacker tries to brute force by different keys different decrypted data will be got, thus the brute forcer will be confused totally about the actual content. A new type of randomized message encoding scheme called a distribution-transforming encoder (DTE).
