An Efficient Secure On-Demand Routing in Clustered Wireless Ad Hoc Networks

There are some papers on secure or anonymous routing protocol in mobile ad-hoc networks. However, due to their original design goal, most of them are vulnerable to attacks and inefficient. In fact, providing security and anonymity are critical in wireless ad hoc networks. In this paper, we present an efficient secure anonymous routing protocol for clustered mobile ad-hoc networks, which not only solves problems related to anonymity, but also solves some of the security problems that are not attached in previous works. Detailed analysis, both from theory and simulation, shows it can get better scalability while not eroding the anonymity and security.
