“…In the more general case, called wormhole attacks [14,15,16,17,18], the adversary repeats the update at one or more distant regions using an outof-band channel. As observed in [19], such attacks are unavoidable in BGP-type protocols (including both SS-BGP and S-BGP) if an attacking node can forward messages without modification such that its presence is never detected. 4 Thus, S-BGP does not offer any more protection than SS-BGP under these attacks.…”

Abstract. Wireless routing protocols allow transmitting nodes to have some knowledge of the topology in order to decide when to forward a packet (via broadcast) and when to drop it. Since a routing protocol forms the backbone of any network, it is a lucrative target for attacks. Routing protocols for wired networks (such as S-BGP) are not scalable in an ad-hoc wireless environment because of two main drawbacks: (1) the need to maintain knowledge about all immediate neighbors (which requires a discovery protocol), and (2) the need to transmit the same update several times, one for each neighbor. Although information about neighbors is readily available in a fairly static and wired network, such information is often not updated or available in an ad-hoc wireless network with mobile devices. Consequently, S-BGP is not suitable for such scenarios. We propose a BGP-type wireless routing protocol for such networks that does not suffer from such drawbacks. The protocol uses a novel authentication primitive called Enhanced Chain Signatures (ECS).

“…In a more active sense, an adversary may listen to network traffic, record and replay transmissions, and possibly inject false control information within the network. A MANET that does not secure its routing messages can be rendered non-functional when an adversary injects false topological information into the network [41]. In environments where a high-level of information security is required, all aspects of the network communications must be protected.…”

“…If the intended target node is not in range or otherwise busy, it will not receive the data packet and the packet will be lost and the source node will believe otherwise. In either case, the network will suffer considerable performance degradations [41].…”

In high consequence systems, all layers of the protocol stack need security features. If network and data-link layer control messages are not secured, a network may be open to adversarial manipulation. The open nature of the wireless channel makes mobile wireless mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) especially vulnerable to control plane manipulation. The objective of this research is to investigate MANET performance issues when cryptographic processing delays are applied at the data-link layer. The results of analysis are combined with modeling and simulation experiments to show that network performance in MANETs is highly sensitive to the cryptographic overhead. 4This page intentionally left blank.5
