Collaborative trust-based secure routing in multihop Ad Hoc networks

Abstract

In this paper we have proposed a secure routing protocol based on AODV for multihop ad hoc networks. Our protocol is unique in the sense that it is capable of finding a secure end-to-end route free of any malicious entity, thus resisting an internal attack within the network either in the form of compromised or disloyal nodes. We propose to find a secure and efficient route to a destination based on collaborative effort of all the nodes. © IFIP International Federation for Information Processing 2004.
