Performance Analysis and Comparison of MANET Routing Protocols under Black Hole Attack

A Mobile Ad-Hoc Network (MANET) consists of portable wireless nodes. The communication between these mobile nodes is dispensed with non-centralized management. There are still many open problems concerning MANETs like security problem. Black Hole Attack is one amongst the security threats that is applicable in the network. The aim of this work is to analyze the effect of Black Hole Attack in MANET routing protocol i.e. Ad-Hoc On-Demand Distance Vector (AODV) and Temporarily Ordered Routing Algorithm (TORA). Comparative analysis of both protocols with Black Hole Attack is taken into account. The simulation is done using NS2 simulator.
