Intrusion Tolerant Routing for Mesh Networks

We propose in this paper a protocol called MERQIT which secure the routing service for the wireless mesh networks while guaranteeing the end-to-end QoS requirements in terms of delay, our approach provides an intrusion tolerant environment and uses and enhances the concept of trusted timely computing base (Ferreira and Verrissimo, 2002) to deduce consistent delay information while tolerating DoS and wormhole attacks. MERQIT also detects and isolates malicious managers while rescuing the affected flows.
