Innovative approach to detect wormhole attack from vehicular ad-hoc network by using variable control chart

The wireless nature of Vehicular Ad-hoc Network (VANET) has made it more sensitive towards various types of attacks. Wormhole is one of the attacks by which the security of VANET's routing may be disturbed. In this research paper an innovative approach based on variable control chart is proposed to detect the wormhole attack from VANET. Variable control chart is used in industry to judge the quality of predefined process. This approach can detect misbehaving (i.e., wormhole, black hole) nodes in real time by applying the monitoring system at every receiving node within the network. Here, SUMO 0.32.0 and NS-2.35 simulators are used. The results signify that the proposed approach is capable to detect the wormhole attack on VANET. The novelty of this research work is that a new approach based on variable control chart is used to make the VANET more secure by detecting the wormhole attack on VANET.
