Towards Secure Cloud-Enabled Wireless Ad-Hoc Networks: A Novel Cross-Layer Validation Mechanism

Network security tackles a broad spectrum of damaging activities that threaten network infrastructure. Addressing these risks is essential to keep data accurate and networks running. This research aims to detect and prevent blackholes and wormholes in cloud-based wireless ad-hoc networks. A new Cross-Layer Validation Mechanism (CLVM) is introduced to detect and counter these dangerous attacks. CLVM boosts network security and ensures data travels through cross-layer interactions. CLVM is tested using NS2 software by performing several simulations and comparing the results with previous methods. The results show that CLVM effectively defends against blackhole and wormhole attacks, which makes it a crucial extra service for cloud computing. CLVM provides a strong defense against new security threats, making sure the network stays reliable and safe.
