AORPM- Anonymity of Routing Path in MANETs

Abstract

Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks (MANETs) are gaining a wide popularity due to the rapid increase in the number of mobile devices. As MANETs are infrastuctreless networks it is vulnerable to malicious attacks. The number of nodes that can take part in communication is not restricted in MANETs and also due to rapid node movement occurance, nodes keeps on changing its location autonomously. The topology of MANETs changes continuously and routing tends to be difficult. It is very much essential to provide anonymous routing in ad-hoc networks to preserve the source, destination and route anonymity. Existing routing protocols cannot provide anonymity to nodes as well as to the route, but the proposed system can ensure anonymity to a greater level. Hybrid key encryption techniques are used to encrypt and decrypt the data and forward the data in a secure manner. Efficient encryption techniques helps to prevent from various types of attacks such as timing attack ,intersection attack etc. we theoretically analyze the proposed system in terms of anonymity and efficiency .Experimental results shows consistency with theoretical results proving AORPM yields better performance and negligible delay.
