Abstract:
Network coding has been shown to be an effective approach to improve the
wireless system performance. However, many security issues impede its wide
deployment in practice. Besides the well-studied pollution attacks, there is another
severe threat, that of wormhole attacks, which undermines the performance gain of
network coding. Since the underlying characteristics of network coding systems
are distinctly different from traditional wireless networks, the impact of wormhole
attacks and countermeasures are generally unknown. In this paper, we quantify
wormholes’ devastating harmful impact on network coding system performance
through experiments. We first propose a centralized algorithm to detect wormholes
and show its correctness rigorously. For the distributed wireless network, we
proposes DAWN, Distributed detection Algorithm against Wormhole in wireless
Network coding systems, by exploring the change of the flow directions of the
innovative packets caused by wormholes. We rigorously prove that DAWN
guarantees a good lower bound of successful detection rate. We perform analysis
on the resistance of DAWN against collusion attacks.

Introduction:
In wireless network coding systems, the forwarders are allowed to apply
encoding schemes on what they receive, and thus they create and transmit new
packets. The idea of mixing packets on each node takes good advantages of the
opportunity diversity and broadcast nature of wireless communications, and
significantly enhances system performance.
Wireless network coding systems face new challenges and attacks, whose
impact and countermeasures are still not well understood because their underlying
characteristics are different from well-studied traditional wireless networks.
The wormhole attack is one of these attacks. In a wormhole attack, the
attacker can forward each packet using wormhole links and without modifies the
packet transmission by routing it to an unauthorized remote node. Hence, receiving
the rebroadcast packets by the attackers, some nodes will have the illusion that
they are close to the attacker.

Existing System:
Wireless network coding systems the routing and packet forwarding
procedures are different from those in traditional wireless networks wormhole
attacks severely imperil network coding protocols. In particular, if wormhole
attacks are launched in routing, the nodes close to attackers will receive more
packets than they should and be considered as having a good capability in help
forwarding packets. Thus they will be assigned with more responsibility in packet
forwarding than what they can actually provide. Furthermore, other nodes will be
correspondingly contributing less. This unfair distribution of workload will result
in inefficient resource utilization and reduce system performance. Wormhole
attacks launched during the data transmission phase can also be very harmful.
First, wormhole attacks can be used as the first step towards more sophisticated
attacks, such as man-in-the-middle attacks and entropy attacks.
Disadvantages:
 Wormhole attacks launched during the data transmission phase can also be
very harmful.
 Retransmitting the packets from the wormhole links, some victim nodes will
have to process much more non-innovative packets that will waste their
resources; these constitute entropy attacks.

Proposed System:
A wireless network design with a set of homogeneous nodes running
through network coding protocols, Nodes are connected via lossy wireless links.
In wormhole attacks, the attackers between distant locations transmit packets
using an out-of-band tunnel. The transmission tunnel is called a wormhole link.
The packet loss rate on the wormhole link is negligible. The kinds of the wormhole
links can be various, such as an Ethernet cable, an optical link, or a secured long-
range wireless transmission.
In the wireless network systems, we consider that public key infrastructure
(PKI) is in place to implement the public key cryptographic techniques. For the
wireless network, we regard each node1 as a user who has a pair of public and
private keys. The identity and the public key of each user are managed by the
certificate authority (CA), which is a trusted entity. If any node A wants to safely
communicate with node B, A has to request B’s public key from the CA first. After
the transmission, node B has to request A’s public key from the CA in order to
verify the message from A. CA is also responsible to pre distribute and revoke the
key pairs of the nodes. The nodes and the CA together form the PKI, which can
guarantee that no node can forge reports from other nodes.
