Proposal for SZRP protocol with the establishment of the salted SHA-256 Bit HMAC PBKDF2 advance security system in a MANET

The cooperative junction of mobile nodes consists of any centralized access point or a self-configuring network existing infrastructure without the required intervention is called ad hoc network. A well designed security protocol is a challenging task due to its unique characteristics such as, lack of central authority, frequent topology changes, rapid node mobility, shared radio channel and limited availability of resources for ad hoc network. However, most of these protocols are two kinds. They are proactive and reactive in terms. Both of these approaches contains their own limitations, for example, in maintaining the routing information the proactive protocols use excess bandwidth while, the reactive ones have long route request delay. In this paper, we proposed a secure hybrid ad hoc routing protocol, called Secure Zone Routing Protocol (SZRP). The proposed protocol is based on the concept of zone routing protocol (ZRP) with AES (Advanced Encryption System).
