A secure routing algorithm with additional cognitive information scalable features for the design approach of the tactical frequency hopping radios Ad-hoc networks (TAFHNET)

The paper presents an approach of the design optimization for the TAFHNET model, including cognitive features, with the focus on a secure (anonymous) routing algorithm (SECRAL). The SECRAL is offering a simpler solution with an alternative original mathematical model, aiming a balance between the highest security and the complexity cost and including scalable additional cognitive information (ACI) features by inserting ACI in some routing packets.
