Anonymity protection using ALERT in MANET

The routing protocols in MANETs((Mobile Ad-hoc Networks), generates high cost as it depends on hop-by-hop routing which unables to provide anonymity protection to source, destination and routes.), ALERT (Anonymous Location-Based Efficient Routing Protocol) routing protocol can be used which portioned the network into hierarchical zone partition and also randomly chooses the nodes as intermediate relay nodes. It also hides the data receiver or initiator between many receivers to strengthen source and destination anonymity protection. Thus it provide thwart against many attacks as it provide anonymity protection to sources, destinations and routes.
