Abstract
The cooperative nature and absence of infrastructure gives rise to lot of scope for research in the area of Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANETs). The dynamic topology, absence of central control and broadcast nature of communication open security threats for MANETs. Many security attacks have been identified by the researchers, but wormhole attack is one of the most devastating attacks. Novel Transmission Time based Mechanism (NTTM) detects wormhole attacks by keeping every node under the surveillance of its neighbors. Based on the Round Trip Time (RTT) computed by each node on a route, the source node computes RTT between each neighbor. If the RTT between a pair of nodes is more than the threshold value, it is assumed that there is wormhole attack between these nodes. The performance of NTTM is evaluated using dynamic source routing (DSR) protocol under wormhole attack.
