Identifying Monitoring Nodes with Selection of Authorized Nodes in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks
Marjan Kuchaki Rafsanjani, Ali Movaghar · 2008
Abstract: Mobile ad hoc networks have different characteristics from wired networks. There are new challenges related to security issues that need to be addressed. In this paper, a monitoring nodes selection method with high battery power in these networks is presented. We propose a two-phase detection scheme. In the first phase, authorized nodes are detected and in the second phase, nodes with the largest battery power as monitoring nodes are considered. So that the first phase of detection procedure uses non-interactive zero knowledge technique in order to determine the identity of nodes. In this technique, nodes do not need to exchange multiple messages to prove their identities. The proposed scheme is enabled with the main operations of ad hoc networking, which are found at the link and network layer. So, the proposed scheme could improve intrusion detection in the area of security.
