Detecting Sybil Attack During Data Transmission Using Concealed Data Sharing Algorithm in Manet

Abstract

As the mobile users are increasing sharply, the wireless or mobile ad hoc network data transmission is on the rise and gaining lot of attention from the research communities. The most important issue that has to be handled is the detecting the Sybil attack and increase the reliability and confidentiality of the data transmission. The foremost aim of this paper is to develop a mechanism to detect the Sybil attack early and evade the data loss and privacy to ensure credibility to the users. The proposed algorithm employs a concealed data sharing plan during the route discovery phase and detects and alleviates the attack to guarantee attack free data transmission in the MANET. The data sharing plan allows only the nodes that are trustworthy and permit the data to be transmitted across them, thereby evading the malicious nodes during the route discovery process and curtails the wastage of time and energy of the nodes.
