Improving Network Security and Performance by Multipath Routing in Ad Hoc Networks

Privacy and security solutions require the protection of personal information so that it may not be disclosed to unauthorized participant for illegal purposes. It is a challenge to address these issues in networks with strong constraints such as Ad Hoc network. The security increase is often obtained with a quality of service (QoS) decrease. We propose in this paper a solution that provides at the anonymity, security to Ad Hoc network with a limited impact on QoS. This method could be efficient against some viral attacks. We also give some security proofs of our solution for Ad Hoc networks.
