Abstract

Mobile ad-hoc network abbreviated as MANET is most emerging and highly demanding wireless network technology. Due to the property of self-deliberate, where all points of network behave like source or router and also, all nodes keep on moving freely in network area. Mobile ad hoc network performs important role in connectionless environment. Security is the most fundamental requirement in mobile ad hoc network to secure the sensitive information from hackers. In MANETs typically many attacks are routing protocol attacks. Sinkhole attack is one of the most severe attacks in MANETs. It tries to attract all neighbor nodes to itself and broadcasts fake or bogus routing path. Here sinkhole attack describes in AODV routing protocol for applying security by using digital signature and hash chain to prevent the attack.Cite this ArtilceVivek Tank, Amit Lathigara.
