Performance Analysis of Black Hole Attack on WiMAX-WLAN Interface Network

Abstract

In this paper, we have observed that the performance analysis of one of the most challenging security issue for wireless network i.e. Black hole attack. WiMAX-WLAN interface will play a important role in the NGN (Next generation Network) scenario. This attack is possible in WiMAX-WLAN interface network i.e. in current scenarios. In this paper we analyzed the performance analysis of Performance Analysis of Black Hole Attack on WiMAX-WLAN Interface Network. In this type of attack an intruder is a malicious node with less buffer size moving on its defined trajectory and passing from WiMAX-WLAN converter. In black hole attack, a malicious node uses its routing protocol in order to advertise itself for having the shortest path to the destination node or to the packet it wants to intercept. This aggressive node advertises its availability of fresh routes irrespective of checking its routing table. In this technique attacker node will always have the accessibility in replying to the route request and thus intercept the data packet and retain it.
