Introduction
• Security problems in mobile adhoc network is always
represented as a challenging problems owing to it inherent
characteristics i.e. dynamic topology, intermittent link
breakage, power consumption etc.
• Wormhole attack is one the most lethal attack among the
various other types of security vulnerabilities in mobile adhoc
networks.

Literature Survey
• [5] have presented a technique to countermeasure the adverse effect of
wormhole attack over on-demand routing in MANET using case study of
misbehaved nodes. The study outcome shows enhanced communication
performance.
• Almost similar direction of study towards wormhole attack was also carried
out by Kaur and Chaba [6] to find the technique offer lower delay and
throughput.
• Gupta and Pathak [7] have introduced a technique that explores substitute
route for avoiding the packets go in wormhole tunnel. The study outcome
shows reduced overhead in routing, reduced packet drop, and increased
received packets.

Literature Survey
• Stoleru et al. [8] have presented a technique that emphasizes on the
discovery of the neighbor nodes for secured communication system in
MANET. The technique also assists in determining the wormhole node
position and explores the neighbor node in much secured manner.
• Shastri and Joshi [9] have reviewed the existing techniques towards
determining and eradicating the wormhole adversaries in MANET.
• Similar forms of identifying and localizing wormhole attacks were also
carried out by Ojha and Kushwah [10]. The technique has also used
threshold-based approach for improving delay and communication
performance.
• Ali and Nand [11] have presented a discussion where two different on-
demand routing protocols were investigated in presence of wormhole
attack on MANET. In a nutshell, it can be said that there are few
techniques to resists the adverse effect of wormhole attacks in MANET

Literature Survey
• The existing technique has emphasized on detection of the adversaries and
presented approaches to identify the tunnel. All the above mentioned
technique has associated advantages as well as pitfalls too

Algorithm for BMWA
• Input: A, n, m
• Output: adversary
• Start
• 1. init A, n, m
• 2. [Rns, Mns] = [ρ1, ρ2, ρ3]
• 3. If Tθ*(1-Tu)<T
• 4. If Tθ<val1
• 5. flag strategy DF
• 6. else
• 7. flag strategy PD
• 8. end
• 9. End
• 10. compute α1, α2, α3
• 11. Pcatch = si*((temp1-Damf)/statf)
• 12. Flag n(max(card(α3)) adversary
• End

Conclusion
This paper presents a probabilistic technique that assists in
formulating a decision by a regular node to determine if its
neighbor or its other communication node is wormhole adversary.
Proper identification of wormhole adversary will protect the
regular node from wormhole tunnel. Our outcome shows that
proposed system offer a better balance between malicious node
identification with communication performance in MANET
