Security Routing Mechanism of Ad Hoc Network Based on Dynamic Token Escrow
Yijun Mo · Journal of Chinese Computer Systems · 2008
As a prerequisite for broad application of Ad hoc network, security problem must be solved. To enhance the security of authentication and the protection of routes, this paper presents a secure routing mechanism for Ad hoc networks based on Dynamic Token Escrow (DTE), which employs Token with TTL to control the trust relationship between network entities and realizes localized authentication through escrow set. The simulation results show that this mechanism reduces the authentication messages and improves the efficiency of routing establishment in unstable environment.
