Ad-Hoc networks are self-organized wireless networks. Finding a secure and efficient route leading from a specific source node to an intended destination node is one of the serious concerns in mobile Ad-Hoc networks. ARANz is one of the significant protocols that has been proposed for such networks. ARANz implements the authentication methods used with the original Authenticated Routing for Ad-Hoc Networks (ARAN) and enhance security and attain robustness by dividing the network into zones and introducing several local certificate authority servers. Using restricted directional flooding, ARANz reveals improved scalability and performance. The purpose of this paper is to discuss in details the misbehavior detection system used with ARANz protocol, along with presenting a detailed simulated security and performance evaluation of ARANz and other existing protocols. Through extensive simulation using GloMoSim simulator, a detailed security evaluation has been conducted to evaluate ARANz and compare it with the original ARAN and Ad-Hoc On-demand Distance Vector (AODV). Simulation results confirm the effectiveness of ARANz in discovering secure routes within quite large networks including large number of moving nodes, while retaining the minimum packet routing load. Results also prove that ARANz has superior performance regardless malicious nodes percentage conducting different types of attacks such as modification, black hole, grey hole and fabrication. Hence, ARANz can be a good choice for Ad-Hoc networks established among students on a campus or peers at a conference, where predeployment of some keys and certificates is possible.

A Reliable Research to Preserve Security in Infrastructure less Networks: MANET

Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) are a unique wireless network which does not relay on any defined infrastructure. Compared to wired networks, MANETs can be attacked easily due to absentness of centralized monitoring authority. The nodes in these networks are dynamic and they set the path to transfer data. Due to this nature of MANET there is a need to incorporate routing protocol with security mechanism. The available cryptographic algorithms supports authentication to escape from passive and active attacks. Here this problem is addressed using Intrusion detection mechanism (IDM) and Position-based Opportunistic Routing protocol (PORP) in a reliable and timely manner.

“…MANET consists of multiple nodes and each node acts as a host or router. Although various studies have been conducted on secure and efficient data transmission, security and efficiency are still an essential challenging future research topic . MANETs are applicable in cases where communication infrastructure does not exist or infrastructure is costly or difficult in practice.…”

“…The latter is about sharing information among each other in an interconnected network and transmitting data on identified path . Routing protocols have two broad categories in MANET: proactive or reactive protocols . Table‐driven protocols like to preserve the latest routing information in its routing table so it is essential for proceeding.…”

Mobile ad hoc Network (MANET) is a cluster of moveable devices connected through a wireless medium to design network with rapidly changing topologies due to mobility. MANETs are applicable in variety of innovative application scenarios where smart devices exchange data among each other. In this case, security of data is the major concern to provide dependable solution to users. This article presents a secure mechanism for data transfer where sender splits the data into fragments and receiver gets the actual data by assimilating the data fragments. We have presented an Enhanced Secured Lempel-Ziv-Welch (ES-LZW) algorithm that provides cryptographic operations for secure data transfer. In proposed model, we have utilized the disjoint paths to transfer the data fragments from sender side and assimilate these fragments at receiver to get the original data. The messages containing data fragments are compressed and encrypted as well. Our scheme ensures confidentiality, integrity, efficient memory utilization, and resilience against node compromising attacks. We have validated our work through extensive simulations in NS-2.35 using TCL and C language. Results prove that our scheme reduces memory consumption along with less encryption and decryption cost as compared to blowfish especially when plaintext has more repetitive data. We have also analyzed the impact of creating data fragments, fraction of communication compromised, and probability to compromise the data fragments by subverting intermediaries.
