The wormhole hazard
نویسنده
چکیده
To predict the outcome of (almost) any experiment we have to assume that our spacetime is globally hyperbolic. The wormholes, if they exist, cast doubt on the validity of this assumption. At the same time, no evidence has been found so far (either observational, or theoretical) that the possibility of their existence can be safely neglected.

Regarding the static form of Maxwell’s equations in wormhole background geometry, we obtain a generalised form of Laplace’s equation. Because of peculiar geometry of the throat, lines of force that enter the wormhole at one mouth and emerge from the other, initially converge and then diverge. So, for a remote observer the wormhole can act as a charge distribution that modifies the potential, ...
متن کاملA two-phase wormhole attack detection scheme in MANETs
Mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs) have no fixed infrastructure, so all network operations such as routing and packet forwarding are done by the nodes themselves. However, almost all common existing routing protocols basically focus on performance measures regardless of security issues. Since these protocols consider all nodes to be trustworthy, they are prone to serious security threats. Wormhole...
متن کاملA Secure Routing Algorithm for Underwater Wireless Sensor Networks
Recently, underwater Wireless Sensor Networks (UWSNs) attracted the interest of many researchers and the past three decades have held the rapid progress of underwater acoustic communication. One of the major problems in UWSNs is how to transfer data from the mobile node to the base stations and choosing the optimized route for data transmission. Secure routing in UWSNs is necessary for packet d...

Replacing the wormhole geometry with an equivalent medium using the perturbation theory of scattering and the Born approximation, we have calculated the differential scattering cross section of electromagnetic waves by a traversable wormhole. It is shown that scattering at long wavelenghts can essentially distinguish wormhole from ordinary scattering object. Some of the zeros of the scatterin...

Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANET) are vulnerable to both active and passive attacks. The wormhole attack is one of the most severe security attacks in wireless ad hoc networks, an attack that can be mounted on a wide range of wireless network protocols without compromising any cryptographic quantity or network node. In Wormhole attacks, one malicious node tunnels packets from its location to the ...
