Abstract


Abstract

Security of MANETs is the part of extensive issue of research in past years. MANET is liable to DDoS attacks because of its no fixed infrastructure, changing topology, open medium, cooperative and trust-based algorithms and absence of a well-defined line of defense. DDoS attack is a synchronized attack created by attackers to overflow the target network with big quantity of information in the form of packets such that the resources of the target network are exhausted leading to the deterioration of the network performance. Most of the solutions to defend these attacks are meant for the wired network and not applicable to MANETs. In this proposal, we are going to discuss the resulting effects of these attacks on MANETs and try to defend them at the early stages. For this global defense scheme, we are using the concept of clustering in MANETs. The defense components are deployed on mobile nodes of clusters, which cooperate with each other and protect MANETs from DDoS attacks.

Keywords: MANETs, DDoS attacks, security, clustering
