A gaming approach for ad-hoc secure routing in education
Kenneth May, Seth Kress, Ahmed Salem, G. Dimitoglou · 2014
The general nature of ad hoc routing lends itself to be insecure since all the nodes in the network must rely on their peers for success. The existing DARS routing simulator currently only takes into account a perfect routing simulation environment. All the nodes in the network work cooperatively and there are no malicious nodes to cause degradation to the network infrastructure. This project aims to add those elements of security vulnerabilities to paint a better picture of what ad hoc networks face in a real world environment. The second goal of this project is to add gaming concepts to the simulator to privide a learning experience for computer science students.
