Abstract

In this paper, the author presented how Man-in-the-Middle problem can be executed by an attacker. He also proposed a simple and lightweight protocol that will make it undesirable for black hats to carry out this act. The proposed detection protocol has been simulated in a wireless environment to test the effectiveness of the detection mechanism. In all cases the simulated man-in-the-middle attack was detected. The performance of the proposed detection mechanism was evaluated against an existing detection mechanism.
