Baffle technique to avoid vampire attacks using route tracking in wireless ad hoc network

Abstract

- The Ad hoc wireless network contains a number of small wireless devices which has the wireless communication capability, signal processing intelligence and transferring of the data. Communications are vulnerable to various kinds of attacks due to insecure wireless channels. The objective of this paper is to examine energy depletion attack which attempts to permanently disable nodes by draining their battery power which is known as vampire attack. These attacks rely on the properties of many popular classes of routing protocol. In this paper, the proposed prevention technique is used to reduce vampire attack using new protocol and route recovery technique to decrease the energy loss due to packet transmission over the unwanted route in the network.
