“…Link security aims to authenticate a peer and to establish session keys between two Mesh nodes (MDs) during the transmission process. A hierarchical key management protocol HKMP [15] is used to improve the transmission security for the proposed routing protocol. Based on the ideas and methods presented in the previous sections, the privacy-aware, secure and green routing protocol PSGR is detailed in this section as shown in Algorithm 1, which can defend against the internal attacks to achieve stronger privacy protection and also to reduce the energy consumption for HWMNs.…”

Abstract-Hybrid Wireless Mesh Networks (HWMNs) were proposed to address the challenges in wireless communications to support mobile applications across different domains. Due to the multi-hop and decentralized network architecture, HWMNs are naturally susceptible to various security threats, especially internal attacks. Therefore, HWMNs must be able to detect anomalies, provide secure routing and protect user privacy through the cooperation among nodes. However, the existing routing protocols for HWMNs cannot ensure the security to protect the users privacy effectively. Moreover, traditional HWMNs are vertically integrated where the control and data planes of mesh routers are bundled together, which makes it complex and difficult to configure the network according to predefined security policies, and to adaptively respond to various dynamic security threats.Software-Defined Wireless Mesh Networks decouple the control plane and data plane of routers and thus enable a more flexible and efficient configuration of security policies. Taking up this opportunity to address the aforementioned challenges, this paper proposes a privacy-aware, secure and energy-aware green routing (PSGR) protocol that can defend against internal attacks, achieve stronger privacy protection and reduce energy consumption in Software-Defined HWMNs. The elaborate theoretical analysis verify that the PSGR protocol can implement the security and privacy protection against internal attacks effectively and efficiently. Simulation results demonstrate a superior performance of PSGR in terms of packet delivery ratio, network throughput and energy efficiency compared to the existing PA-SHWMP, PASER, and HWMP protocols in the presence of Blackhole/Grayhole attacks and wormhole attacks.

“…This introduced the need to establish secured, reliable and stable routing mechanisms in wireless mesh networks. In [4], the authors have proposed reputation evaluation mechanism to enforce security and to defend against internal attacks in WMNs. Here, the reputation computation incorporates traditional weighted average model to compute the link quality metric which in turn evaluates the direct behaviour of the nodes.…”

Wireless Mesh Network (WMN) is an emerging next generation wireless technology with several applications in wireless environment. However, the lack of physical protection and ad-hoc connectivity between the users not only increases its routing overheads but also makes it vulnerable to security attacks such as packet dropping attacks. Hence, it is essential to design a secure, reliable and stable route in WMN to thwart against packet dropping attacks. To address this issue, a protocol named Trust-Centric Stable Routing (TCSR) is proposed for WMNs which incorporates security, reliability enhancement and integration of payment systems. Here, trusted nodes with forwarding reliability are selected for secured and efficient data transmission by introducing reliable reputation based trust computation algorithm. This algorithm well isolates malicious nodes during route discovery and packet transmission. Payment system uses a system of reward and punishment so that nodes which relay others' packets are given credits and those which send the packets are charged. Thus, by integrating these systems, the proposed system has been able to enforce cooperation among nodes to participate in forwarding packets and successfully identify and isolate malicious nodes in the network. The simulation results prove that TCSR provides optimal network performance in terms of throughput and delay and also provides better security against packet dropping attacks.
