A Secure Routing Protocol Based on Pheromone Mechanism for Ad Hoc Network

Jianming Liu · Jisuanji fangzhen · 2010

Ad Hoc Networks are vulnerable to malicious attacks.This motivates us to explore the swarm intelligence algorithm and propose a secure multi-routing scheme based on the pheromone mechanism.Our scheme focuses the local information of the nodes,according to the throughput of the multi-routing,updates the pheromone values according to the periodicly transmitted BANTs in the multi-routing,and then applies the pheromone values and the local information to make routing decision.We also build the multi-routing traffic model and attack model for our scheme and verify the scheme by extensive simulation under NS-2.Simulation results show that our scheme can maintain an amazing packet delivery ratio while avoiding the paths that contain malicious nodes,and thus improve the security of the network.
