Abstract

Routing in Wireless Mesh Network has become an active field of research in recent days. Most of the existing protocols are vulnerable to many attacks. One such approach that causes serious impact on a WMN is a Fraudulent Routing Information attack known as FRI –Attack, with which an external attacker can drop all the data packets by using a single compromised mesh node. In this paper, we present a Virtual Coordinates based solution to mitigate FRI attack in WMN. Virtual Coordinate System uses the topological structure of a network to get virtual coordinates rather than getting real coordinates using GPS. The proposed mechanism is designed for an on demand routing protocols such as HWMP and it relies on digital signature to mitigate FRI attack in WMNs during route discovery. This is a software based solution and it does not require each node to be equipped with specialized hardware like GPS.
