Hierarchical Partition-Based Anonymous Routing Protocol(HPAR) in Manet for Efficient and Secure Transmission

TL;DR

The paper introduces HPAR, a hierarchical partition-based anonymous routing protocol for MANETs that enhances security and efficiency by dynamically partitioning the network and selecting relay nodes randomly.

Contribution

It presents a novel routing protocol that improves security and reduces cost in MANETs through dynamic network partitioning and randomized relay node selection.

Findings

Provides high-level anonymity for source, destination, and route

Offers low-cost secure routing with attack countermeasures

Achieves efficient and protected communication in MANETs

Abstract

Anonymous routing protocols are used in MANET's to hide the nodes from outsiders in order to protect from various attacks. HPAR partitions the network area dynamically into zones and chooses nodes in zones randomly as intermediate relay nodes .This relay nodes help in secure routing. In HPAR anonymity protection is given to source, destination and route. HPAR have low cost and provide high level of protection. It has techniques to counter various attacks.
