一种用于ad-hoc网络路由协议虫洞攻击的检测机制

针对发生在ad-hoc网络上的路由虫洞攻击,设计了一种高效的检测方法.该方法首先尝试定位可能处于一个虫洞隧道中的可疑链路.然后在虫洞的两个端点之间交换加密的侦测分组来实施检测机制.该机制不需要任何的时间同步方法或节点位置信息,也不需要任何复杂的计算或特定的硬件支持,只使用简单的四次握手消息交换的方式来检测虫洞隧道.几种场景的测试结果表现出很高的检测率和检测精度.

A Detection Mechanism for Wormhole Attacks on ad-hoc Networks Routing Protocols

This paper devises an efficient method to detect wormhole attacks on the ad-hoc routing protocols.It first attempts to pinpoint suspicious links that may be part of a wormhole tunnel.Then,a proper wormhole detection mechanism is applied to suspicious links by means of an exchange of encrypted probing packets between the endpoints of the wormhole.The proposed mechanism is an easy-to-deploy solution: it does not require any time synchronization or node location information,and does not require any complex computation or special hardware supports,and just uses a simple four-way handshaking messages exchange to detect wormhole attack.The performance of this approach shows high detection rate under various scenarios.
