A Encryption Based Dynamic and Secure Routing Protocol for Mobile Ad Hoc Network

摘要

Significant progress has been made for making mobile ad hoc networks secure and dynamic. The unique characteristics like infrastructure-free and absence of any centralized authority make these networks more vulnerable to security attacks. Due to the ever-increasing security threats, there is a need to develop algorithms and protocols for a secured ad hoc network infrastructure. This paper presents a secure routing protocol, called EDSR (Encrypted Dynamic Source Routing). EDSR prevents attackers or malicious nodes from tampering with communication process and also prevents a large number of types of Denial-of-Service attacks. In addition, EDSR is efficient, using only efficient symmetric cryptographic primitives. We have developed a new program in c++ for simulation setup.
