Abstract
As mobile ad hoc network (MANET) systems research has matured and several testbeds have been built to study MANETs, research has focused on developing new MANET applications such as collaborative games, collaborative computing, messaging systems, distributed security schemes, MANET middleware, peer-to-peer file sharing systems, voting systems, resource management and discovery, vehicular computing and collaborative education systems. Many techniques are proposed to enhance the anonymous communication in case of the mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs). However, MANETs are vulnerable under certain circumstances like passive attacks and traffic analysis attacks. Traffic analysis problem expose some of the methods and attacks that could infer MANETs are still weak under the passive attacks. In this Research, proposed ‘Traffic pattern Discovery System in MANET’s, aheuristic approach(TP-DS) , enables a passive global adversary to accurately infer the traffic pattern in an anonymous MANET without compromising any node. TP-DS works well on existing on-demand anonymous MANET routing protocols to determine the source node, destination node and the end-to-end communication path. Detailed simulations show that TP-DS can infer the hidden traffic pattern with accuracy as high than the TP-DS and gives the result with accuracy of 95%
