Enhanced Authentication and Locality Aided - Destination Mobility in Dynamic Routing Protocol for MANET

TL;DR

This paper proposes a secure geographic routing protocol for MANETs that incorporates trust evaluation, watchdog-based misbehavior detection, and destination mobility alerts to enhance security and routing efficiency.

Contribution

It introduces a novel secure routing framework combining trust assessment, misbehavior detection, and mobility updates for MANETs.

Findings

Improved detection of misbehaving nodes.

Enhanced route security through trust and watchdog mechanisms.

Effective handling of destination mobility alerts.

Abstract

In our proposed model, the route selection is a function of following parameters: hop count, trust level of node and security level of application. In this paper, to focus on secure neighbor detection, trust factor evaluation, operational mode, route discovery and route selection. The paper mainly address the security of geographic routing. The watchdog identifies misbehaving nodes, while the Pathselector avoids routing packets through these nodes. The watchdog, the pathselector is run by each server. In order to keep the source informed about the destination's mobility, the destination keeps sending the alert message to its previous hop telling that it has changed its position and any reference to it for data packet forwarding be informed to the VHR server.
