Secure optimal routing protocol in MANETs

Abstract

MANET consists of the number of mobile nodes that form a wireless communication. MANETs are self configuring network where the nodes can move freely and randomly. It can dynamically join the network and leave the network at any time. It is widely used in industrial and commercial applications like vehicular communication, agricultural needs and disaster management, etc. There are studies based on routing protocols in MANETs to improve their quality and efficiency of the protocols. However, there may lot of research about routing protocols, always it lacks in security. The proposed algorithm uses public key cryptographic technique to make the protocol more secure. Cryptography provides more secure and optimal transactions. © 2014 IEEE.
