Implementing encryption with Enhanced Mobility Aware Routing Protocol for Bluetooth network
Dinesh Kumar Pradhan, Subrata Nandi, Prasenjit Choudhury · 2014
Enhanced Mobility Aware Routing Protocol (EMOLAR) deals with data loss in Ad-hoc networks ignoring Bluetooth Security mechanism; which is Passkey or PIN, as using PIN in the process of Scatternet formation or reconstruction is highly impracticable. However, sometimes we feel the necessity to send secure data even in insecure networks. So, our algorithm will be useful in such situations. Bluetooth uses PIN authentication and Scatternet is a form of MANET, so end to end Encrypted data transmission can be a practical solution. EMOLAR sustains data loss in a Scatternet considering the mobility of devices, ignoring security. Herein, we are trying to implement Elliptic Curve Cryptography along with EMOLAR to overcome the security issues in Bluetooth Scatternet. Public Key Cryptography algorithms as RSA and ECC are most acceptable for their performance and efficiency; however Bluetooth is basically a low-power, low-memory device, so ECC will be more suitable for such devices.
