Malicious node detection using ID-based authentication technique

In ad-hoc as well as internet networks, there may exist several malicious nodes which may reduce system reliability and robustness of the network. Therefore, detection of malicious node in the networks is a vibrant research area. For this, several techniques have been adopted in the literature. In this paper, we proposed malicious node detection protocol using authentication technique for ad hoc as well as internet networks. As the protocol depends on one-way hash operation and does not consider any high computation such as exponentiation or pairing computation, so it achieves high performance. Besides, the number of message passes is also reduced to authenticate a node within the network. The proposed protocol is simulated using AVISPA software, and the simulation results make certain that the protocol is SAFE under OFMC and CL-AtSe models. In addition, the complexities of the protocol are satisfactory.
