A Novel Routing Protocol for Providing Anonymity in MANET
S. Vignesh, K. Sudhakar · International Journal of Computer Trends and Technology · 2014
Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) using anonymous routing protocols hidden node identity and external routes having anonymity protection. Anonymous routing protocols use either hop-by-by hop encryption or redundant traffic, which generates more cost or without providing full anonymity protection to the data source and destination. It has more cost and increase for naturally resource constraint problem in MANETs particularly in multimedia wireless applications. High anonymity protection at a lower cost, we propose an unsigned Location-based competent Routing protocol. It dynamically partitions the network field into different zones and randomly chooses nodes in various zones as intermediate relay nodes, it also non traceable. It's based on counter intersection and timing attacks. It performs better route anonymity. It has self configuring infrastructure less networks. In future, the Random forwarder node replication attack will be also eliminated. To consider this attack, set up server will assign the key for each random forwarder node is generated by using the polynomial bivariate key generation scheme. The key wrapping algorithm used to protect the key from the adversary. In this paper, one way hash chain algorithm is used for key wrapping.
