Bai's Secret Sharing Scheme for Highly Secured AOMDV Routing Protocol
C. Chandrasekar, S. Santhosh Baboo · 2012
Security in wireless network is of a great concern in the present wireless environment. Security is becoming a much essential part in wireless communication as intruders are very much keen in attacking the transmitted route or any node to steal the da ta packets It is indispensable to provide security to the network from the intruders and their security attacks. In order to provide a secured environment, it is essential that routing protocol exploited in a MANET should be of highly secured from the intruders. There are several routing protocols exist but most of these protocols makes use of only a single path. Therefore, proposed a Highly Secured Ad -hoc On-demand Multipath Distance Vector routing protocol (HSAOMDV) using the Bai's secret sharing scheme. Secret sharing scheme allows to distribute a secret o nly between a set of participants in a communication process by providing each participant a share. By this manner only the grou p of participants are allowed to reconstruct the secret. In order to evaluate the performance of the proposed HSAOMDV, it is compa red against AOMDV and SAOMDV (AOMDV with Shamir's Secret Sharing Scheme). Number of packets received by HSAOMDV routing protocol does not decreased with intrusion of malicious nodes in the network and the packet delivery ratio also comparably high than the ot her two routing protocols.
