Reliable Monitoring Security System to Prevent MAC Spoofing in Ubiquitous Wireless Network

Ubiquitous computing is a new paradigm in the world of information technology. Security plays a vital role in such networking environments. However, there are various methods available to generate different Media Access Control (MAC) addresses for the same system, which enables an attacker to spoof into the network. MAC spoofing is one of the major concerns in such an environment where MAC address can be spoofed using a wide range of tools and methods. Different methods can be prioritized to get cache table and attributes of ARP spoofing while targeting the identification of the attack. The routing trace-based technique is the predominant method to analyse MAC spoofing. In this paper, a detailed survey has been done on different methods to detect and prevent such risks. Based on the survey, a new proposal of security architecture has been proposed. This architecture makes use of Monitoring System (MS) that generates frequent network traces into MS table, server data and MS cache which ensures that the MAC spoofing is identified and blocked from the same environment.
