Defense Mechanism for the Nodes of 2-D Meshes and n-cubes

Security is the primary concern for decades in networking and still face enormous challenges. Defending a network against attacks on its nodes requires placing mobile guards on the nodes of a network. The meshes and n-cubes are one of the most versatile and powerful interconnection networks and are bipartite. In this paper, the exact value of the parameter which gives the minimum number of guards required to protect the n-cubes and meshes is obtained. The n-cubes and mesh structures constitute the basic unit of nano networks. The main theme of this proposed study is the security of interconnected networks.
