Jitendra Kumar Rout, Sourav Kumar Bhoi, Sanjaya Kumar Panda . SFTP: A Secure and Fault-Tolerant Paradigm against Blackhole Attack in MANET. International Journal of Computer Applications. 64, 4 ( February 2013), 27-32. DOI=10.5120/10623-5343
Security issues in MANET are a challenging task nowadays. MANETs are vulnerable to passive attacks and active attacks because of a limited number of resources and lack of centralized authority. Blackhole attack is an attack in network layer which degrade the network performance by dropping the packets. In this paper, we have proposed a Secure Fault-Tolerant Paradigm (SFTP) which checks the Blackhole attack in the network. The three phases used in SFTP algorithm are designing of coverage area to find the area of coverage, Network Connection algorithm to design a fault-tolerant model and Route Discovery algorithm to discover the route and data delivery from source to destination. SFTP gives better network performance by making the network fault free.
