A Lightweight and Attack Resistant Authenticated Routing Protocol for Mobile Adhoc Networks

Abstract: In mobile ad hoc networks, by attacking the corresponding routing protocol, an attacker can easily disturb the operations of the network.For ad hoc networks, till now many secured routing protocols have been proposed which contains some disadvantages.Therefore security in ad hoc networks is a controversial area till now.In this paper, we proposed a Lightweight and Attack Resistant Authenticated Routing Protocol (LARARP) for mobile ad hoc networks.For the route discovery attacks in MANET routing protocols, our protocol gives an effective security.It supports the node to drop the invalid packets earlier by detecting the malicious nodes quickly by verifying the digital signatures of all the intermediate nodes.It punishes the misbehaving nodes by decrementing a credit counter and rewards the well behaving nodes by incrementing the credit counter.Thus it prevents uncompromised nodes from attacking the routes with malicious or compromised nodes.It is also used to prevent the denial-of-service (DoS) attacks.The efficiency and effectiveness of LARARP are verified through the detailed simulation studies.
