Data security in ad hoc networks using multipath routing

In this paper, we introduce a solution for securing data in ad hoc networks. We exploit the existence of multiple paths between nodes in an ad hoc network to increase the robustness of transmitted data confidentiality. In ad hoc networks, security depends on several parameters and reaching a good security degree is a hard task. Recently, there are several proposed solutions treating authentication, availability, secure routing and intrusion detection etc, in ad hoc networks. An overview of some current solutions, implementation details and experimental results are discussed in this paper.
