This paper presents a powerful and versatile security suite for the AODV (Ad-hoc On-demand Distance Vector) routing protocol. It offers a coverage on common security aspects such as encryption and authentication, and it can be easily modified to work with any distance-vector-based routing for MANET (Mobile Ad hoc Networks). The suite utilizes powerful authentication and user-adjustable encryptions based on digital certificate chaining and popular ciphers such as DES, AES, and RSA. The security strength can be customized to reach a desired balance with the performance of the network. The suite has a highly modular design, which allows additional security strength to be added on top of the existing framework. This attractive feature enables heterogeneous applications to utilize various levels of security routing on the same MANET. The multiple levels of security strengths are careful analyzed. The range of impacts on network performance is also illustrated by simulation, which shows that the strongest security scheme still achieves about 75% of the throughput, while incurs 20-30% additional delay.

A New Handover Authentication Method for WiMAX Architecture

The Initial Network Entry Authentication (INEA) process is the first security entry between client and WiMAX network. WiMAX architecture provides a significant flexibility to respect wireless security requirements. The INEA framework is based on the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) for user authentication and key management. However, EAP authentication method introduces high authentication delay and signaling cost when the user moves between stations. These impact negatively the handover process and decrease the Quality of Service of WiMAX networks. In this paper, we analyze the existing INEA authentication process and we propose a new authentication method and key agreement for handovers process. To prove the new method validity, the verification is performed by using the formal security analyzer Automated Validation of Internet Security Protocols and Applications which is a performed tool to find automatically potential attacks in security protocols. Furthermore, the proposed protocol is compared with other handover protocols. The comparison shows that proposed protocol outperforms the other protocols.

Interworking UMTS and WiMAX networks offers global roaming and cost effective broadband wireless Internet access. Designing efficient Intra and Inter WiMAX handovers in the interworking architecture is a challenging problem. Handovers must be instantaneous and secure at the same time. We attempt to solve this problem by designing Intra and Inter WiMAX handover protocols which are capable of operating in the UMTS-WiMAX interworking architecture and perform mutual pre-authentication between the mobile station and the target network prior to handover. Due to the pre-authentication procedure, our proposed handover protocols outperform standard handover protocols by dispatching fewer handover signaling messages, experiencing less handover delay and preserving computation resources of critical nodes in the interworking architecture. Furthermore, our proposed handover protocols meet essential security requirements and defend against common attacks affecting handover protocols.
