Efficient Detection of Black Hole attack in Mobile Adhoc Networks using a TRUST based Scheme

Abstract

In this paper, the security problem of black hole node in mobile adhoc networks (MANET) is discussed. Mobile adhoc network is a kind of network in which there is no fixed structure of the network. All the nodes are mobile i.e. they are free to move where ever they want to move. Mobility of the nodes and lack of any central administration in the network leads to complex security problem and black hole attack is one such security problem. In this paper, some of the best work which are already exist in this field and the limitations are disused in brief. A Relative TRUST based approach to eradicate the problem of black hole is proposed in this paper.
