ZHLS Security Enhancement by integrating SHA256, AES, DH in MANETS

Abstract

In this century fast growing and progressive change of technology, Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET) which is a no centralized structure plays great role. The routing protocol in this network is objective to deliver efficient route since sender to receiver. One of the hybrid routing protocols example is Zone Based Hierarchical Link State Routing Protocol (ZHLS) that is can't allowable huge amount of inside attacks which arise from malevolent nodes. The third party in the routing system may drop the data, as well as disturbs the progression of the routing. To resolve this difficult, ZHLS Security is enhanced by integrating SHA256, AES, DH in MANETS. Security to routing protocols in MANETS is incorporated with different traditional Security mechanisms. My idea behind this thesis is to use integrated security ZHLS protocol by integrating Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) as well as secure hash algorithms to provide the data security. Also, it is, Deffi-Hellman to preserve privacy among the data transmission nodes. In the proposed method, AES is applied to symbol, also authentication to provide the confidentiality of the message in the routing system. This work will be simulated on NS2 environment and it may highly improve the security of data transmission among wireless mobile nodes.
