A Partially Non-Cryptographic Security Routing Protocol in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks

In this paper, we propose a partially non-cryptographic security routing protocol （PNCSR） that protects both routing and data forwarding operations through the same reactive approach. PNCSR only apply public-key cryptographic system in managing token, but it doesn＇t utilize any cryptographic primitives on the routing messages. In PNCSR, each node is fair. Local neighboring nodes collaboratively monitor each other and sustain each other. It also uses a novel credit strategy which additively increases the token lifetime each time a node renews its token. We also analyze the storage, computation, and communication overhead of PNCSR, and provide a simple yet meaningful overhead comparison. Finally, the simulation results show the effectiveness of PNCSR in various situations.

Towards Blockchain-Based Secure BGP Routing,Challenges and Future Research Directions

Border Gateway Protocol(BGP)is a standard inter-domain routing protocol for the Internet that conveys network layer reachability information and establishes routes to different destinations.The BGP protocol exhibits security design defects,such as an unconditional trust mechanism and the default acceptance of BGP route announcements from peers by BGP neighboring nodes,easily triggering prefix hijacking,path forgery,route leakage,and other BGP security threats.Meanwhile,the traditional BGP security mechanism,relying on a public key infrastructure,faces issues like a single point of failure and a single point of trust.The decentralization,anti-tampering,and traceability advantages of blockchain offer new solution ideas for constructing secure and trusted inter-domain routing mechanisms.In this paper,we summarize the characteristics of BGP protocol in detail,sort out the BGP security threats and their causes.Additionally,we analyze the shortcomings of the traditional BGP security mechanism and comprehensively evaluate existing blockchain-based solutions to address the above problems and validate the reliability and effectiveness of blockchain-based BGP security methods in mitigating BGP security threats.Finally,we discuss the challenges posed by BGP security problems and outline prospects for future research.

Enhancement in Ad hoc on Demand Distance Vector (AODV) Routing Protocol Security

Ad-hoc networking has mainly been associated with military battlefield networks. Security has received considerably less attention and the issue needs to be addressed before any successful applications will appear. Due to the insecure nature of the wireless link and their dynamically changing topology, wireless ad-hoc networks require a careful and security-oriented approach for designing routing protocols. In this paper, an AODV-based secure routing protocol- ENAODV is presented. A speed-optimized digital signature algorithm is integrated into the routing protocol. The protocol algorithm is implemented with NS-2. The security of the protocol is analyzed. The simulating results show that the performances of ENAODV protocol, such as average node energy consumption, packet delay and packet delivery is nearly the same as standard AODV protocol.

Improved QoS-Secure Routing in MANET Using Real-Time Regional ME Feature Approximation

Mobile Ad-hoc Network(MANET)routing problems are thoroughly studied several approaches are identified in support of MANET.Improve the Quality of Service(QoS)performance of MANET is achieving higher performance.To reduce this drawback,this paper proposes a new secure routing algorithm based on real-time partial ME(Mobility,energy)approximation.The routing method RRME(Real-time Regional Mobility Energy)divides the whole network into several parts,and each node’s various characteristics like mobility and energy are randomly selected neighbors accordingly.It is done in the path discovery phase,estimated to identify and remove malicious nodes.In addition,Trusted Forwarding Factor(TFF)calculates the various nodes based on historical records and other characteristics of multiple nodes.Similarly,the calculated QoS Support Factor(QoSSF)calculating by the Data Forwarding Support(DFS),Throughput Support(TS),and Lifetime Maximization Support(LMS)to any given path.One route was found to implement the path of maximizing MANET QoS based on QoSSF value.Hence the proposed technique produces the QoS based on real-time regional ME feature approximation.The proposed simulation implementation is done by the Network Simulator version 2(NS2)tool to produce better performance than other methods.It achieved a throughput performance had 98.5%and a routing performance had 98.2%.

Region Centric GL Feature Approximation Based Secure Routing for Improved QoS in MANET

Secure routing in Mobile Adhoc Network(Manet)is the key issue now a day in providing secure access to different network services.As mobile devices are used in accessing different services,performing secure routing becomes a challenging task.Towards this,different approaches exist whichfind the trusted route based on their previous transmission details and behavior of different nodes.Also,the methods focused on trust measurement based on tiny information obtained from local nodes or with global information which are incomplete.How-ever,the adversary nodes are more capable and participate in each transmission not just to steal the data also to generate numerous threats in degrading QoS(Quality of Service)parameters like throughput,packet delivery ratio,and latency of the network.This encourages us in designing efficient routing scheme to max-imize QoS performance.To solve this issue,a two stage trust verification scheme and secure routing algorithm named GL-Trust(Global-Local-Trust)is presented.The method involves in route discovery as like popular AODV(Adaptive On-demand Distance Vector)which upgrades the protocol to collect other information like transmission supported,successful transmissions,energy,mobility,the num-ber of neighbors,and the number of alternate route to the same destination and so on.Further,the method would perform global trust approximation to measure the value of global trust and perform local trust approximation to measure local trust.Using both the measures,the method would select a optimal route to perform routing.The protocol is designed to perform localized route selection when there is a link failure which supports the achievement of higher QoS performance.By incorporating different features in measuring trust value towards secure routing,the proposed GL-Trust scheme improves the performance of secure routing as well as other QoS factors.

A Collaborative Approach for Secured Routing in Mobile Ad-Hoc Network

Mobile computing is the most powerful application for network com-munication and connectivity,given recent breakthroughs in thefield of wireless networks or Mobile Ad-hoc networks(MANETs).There are several obstacles that effective networks confront and the networks must be able to transport data from one system to another with adequate precision.For most applications,a frame-work must ensure that the retrieved data reflects the transmitted data.Before driv-ing to other nodes,if the frame between the two nodes is deformed in the data-link layer,it must be repaired.Most link-layer protocols immediately disregard the frame and enable the high-layer protocols to transmit it down.In other words,because of asset information must be secured from threats,information is a valu-able resource.In MANETs,some applications necessitate the use of a network method for detecting and blocking these assaults.Building a secure intrusion detection system in the network,which provides security to the nodes and route paths in the network,is a major difficulty in MANET.Attacks on the network can jeopardize security issues discovered by the intrusion detection system engine,which are then blocked by the network’s intrusion prevention engine.By bringing the Secure Intrusion Detection System(S-IDS)into the network,a new technique for implementing security goals and preventing attacks will be developed.The Secure Energy Routing(SER)protocol for MANETs is introduced in this study.The protocol addresses the issue of network security by detecting and preventing attacks in the network.The data transmission in the MANET is forwarded using Elliptical Curve Cryptography(ECC)with an objective to improve the level of security.Network Simulator–2 is used to simulate the network and experiments are compared with existing methods.

Real-Time Data Transmission with Data Carrier Support Value in Neighbor Strategic Collection in WSN

An efficient trust-aware secure routing and network strategy-based data collection scheme is presented in this paper to enhance the performance and security of wireless sensor networks during data collection.The method first discovers the routes between the data sensors and the sink node.Several factors are considered for each sensor node along the route,including energy,number of neighbours,previous transmissions,and energy depletion ratio.Considering all these variables,the Sink Reachable Support Measure and the Secure Communication Support Measure,the method evaluates two distinct measures.The method calculates the data carrier support value using these two metrics.A single route is chosen to collect data based on the value of data carrier support.It has contributed to the design of Secure Communication Support(SCS)Estimation.This has been measured according to the strategy of each hop of the route.The suggested method improves the security and efficacy of data collection in wireless sensor networks.The second stage uses the two-fish approach to build a trust model for secure data transfer.A sim-ulation exercise was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of the suggested framework.Metrics,including PDR,end-to-end latency,and average residual energy,were assessed for the proposed model.The efficiency of the suggested route design serves as evidence for the average residual energy for the proposed framework.

APPLICATION OF ID-BASED AGGREGATE SIGNATURE IN MANETS

Aggregate signatures are a useful primitive which allows aggregating many signatures on different messages computed by different users into a single and constant-length signature and adapts to Mobile Ad hoc NETwork (MANETs) very much. Jumin Song, et al. presented an ID-based aggregate signature, applied it to MANETs and proposed a secure routing scheme. In this work, we analyze Jumin Song, et al.’s aggregate signature scheme and find some limitations on its batch verification. In addition, in this work, we apply Craig Gentry, et al.’s ID-based aggregate signature to on-demand routing pro-tocol to present a secure routing scheme. Our scheme not only provides sound authentication and a secure routing protocol in ad hoc networks, but also meets the nature of MANETs.

Defending Against Wormhole Attack in OLSR

OLSR （optimal link state routing） is one of the four basic routing protocols used in mobile ad hoe Networks by the MANET working group of IETF（Internet engineering task force）. OLSR, a proactive routing protocol, is based on a multipoint relaying flooding technique to reduce the number of topology broadcast. OLSR uses periodic HELLO packets to neighbor detection. As introduced in Reference [1], the wormhole attack can form a serious threat in wireless Networks, especially against many ad hoc Network routing protocols and location-based wireless security systems. Here, a trust model to handle this attack in OLSR is provided and simulated in NS2.

Resistance to Malicious Packet Droppers Through Enhanced AODV in a MANET

Packet dropping in a mobile ad hoc network can manifest itself as the data plane attacks as well as control plane attacks.The former deal with malicious nodes performing packet drop on the data packets following the route formation and the latter deal with those malicious nodes which either drop or manipulate the control packets to degrade the network performance.The idea of the proposed approach is that during the route establishment,each of the on-path nodes is provided with pre-computed hash values which have to be used to provide a unique acknowledgement value to the upstream neighbor which acts as a proof of the forwarding activity.The analysis phase results in the detection of nodes which exhibited malicious behavior in the current communication session so as to avoid them in the future communication sessions resulting in an improved packet delivery fraction even in the presence of one or more malicious nodes in the network.The communication overhead incurred is minimum since the acknowledgement reports are sent to the destination for a transmission of N packets rather than an individual acknowledgement for each transmitted packet.In contrast to some of the existing techniques,the proposed mechanism is not dependent on the deployment of additional infrastructure like special Intrusion Detection System(IDS)nodes.The only overhead incurred is in the form of control packets exchanged for the reports request and the reports submission.
