Abstract

Wireless networks are becoming increasingly popular. Mobile ad hoc networks are one category among the different types of wireless networks that transmit packets from the sender node to the receiver node without the use of a base station or infrastructure, as the nodes serve as both hosts and routers. These networks are referred to as mobile because they are movable. MANET is an ad-hoc network that can change positions at any time, and nodes can join or leave at any moment, making it vulnerable to attacks such as Blackhole. Existing solutions, in some ways, led to more memory space consumption, while others led to an overhead. This research proposes an Enhanced On-demand Distance Vector (AODV) routing protocol to prevent Blackhole attacks on MANETs using Diffie Hellman and Message Digest 5 (DHMD), implemented using Network Simulator 2 (NS2). The performance of the proposed protocol was evaluated using the following parameters: Packet Delivery Ratio, throughput, End to End (E2E) Delay, and routing overhead. It
was concluded that DHMD has reduced network overhead as it resulted to 23% while AODV resulted at 38% and memory consumption for DHMD gave 0.52ms compared to AODV that gave 0.81ms due to Blackhole prevention. This research will help to mitigate the effect of blackhole attacks in a network and increase network performance by reducing overhead and memory
consumption.
