“…Node identification and key management have been used to strengthen its security. Indeed, in [10] the authors integrated the HiMAC mechanism to secure the distribution of data in AODV. Based on trust and message authentication the HiMAC's technique prevent an intruder from capturing routing information, which makes it easier for him to carry out attacks by generating a diversion of the route thus causing a black hole attack.…”

The Nodes equipped with wireless technology cooperate in an autonomous and instantaneous way to form a mobile ad hoc network. It turns out that several factors make this type of network vulnerable to various security threats. Considering the sensitivity of user data routed through nodes, routing security should be a priority in mobile ad hoc networks (MANET). Techniques and schemes have been proposed to secure the basic routing protocols in order to guarantee the availability of information routing services between network nodes. The majority of the solutions presented in the literature belong to two categories, namely those that use cryptographic techniques and those that use trust schemes. Given the characteristics of MANET networks, we need approaches that guarantee a level of honesty of the nodes to prevent possible routing attacks from malicious nodes. This study presents the security extensions of the basic routing protocols AODV, DSR and DSDV.A first part is devoted to extensions based on cryptography and a second part introduces extensions using trusted systems. Then we discussed and analyzed them while drawing up a comparative table to measure the effectiveness of the mechanisms used as well as the limits and strengths of each proposed extensions. In this study, we conclude that a new trust model that combines an access strategy with lightweight techniques must be developed to ensure honest node behavior can be a key to securing the routing protocol in MANET.

“…In comparison to their proposed method, our proposed HM2-MAC based MANET achieves significantly high throughput, which guarantee reliability of data transmission even under varying topology or network conditions. In [5], authors proposed hierarchical message authentication code for secure data dissemination in mobile ad hoc networks (HiMAC). This approach was designed as an identify-based message authentication code for data security in MANET.…”

“…This as a result impacts overall network efficiency and imposes security related vulnerability [3] [4]. Towards QoS provision, MANETs have evolved over numerous enhancements in the form of QoS-sensitive routing solution, QoS adaptation, QoS signaling enhancement and QoS MAC model [4][5][6][7][8][9][10]. Amongst the major solutions, QoS routing and QoS MAC protocol has decisive impact on overall network performance [9].…”

“…Though, present network coding methods are more robust than the classical "Store, Compute and Forward" based methods [9]; however, their resilience to avoid intermediate node's malicious behavior remained a challenge. ON the other hand, its robustness towards MAC design has been affirmed in numerous literatures [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] [72]. Functionally, it enhances the overall network ability to meet error-free transmission while retaining lowcost communication purposes [35] [37] [38] [72].…”

The exponential rise in wireless transmission has gained widespread attention to meet major mobile communication purposes including, Internet of Things (IoT) and Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communications. Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET) has emerged as one of the most viable solution to meet aforesaid mobile communication purposes; however, being decentralized and infrastructure-less network it undergoes adversaries including dynamic topology and security breaches due to malicious node attachment during routing. On the contrary, data security and allied Quality-of-Service (QoS) provision are inevitable in NextGen communication systems. Unlike routing-based security measures, Medium Access Control (MAC) based approaches are found more effective for MANETs. However, most of the classical MAC designs either address QoS or security as standalone objective. Unlike existing MAC solutions, in this paper a state-of-art novel Huffman Coding and Multi-Generation Mixing (MGM) assisted random linear network model-based MAC design (HM2-MAC) is proposed for MANET. Realizing the robustness of the network coding algorithms towards reliable, secure and error-free multicast transmission, we designed HM2-MAC in such manner that Huffman coding helps securing the source data packets, while MGM concept enables reduction in redundant packets to make overall communication resource efficient and secure. Unlike redundant packet-per-generation, MGM concept helps in reducing redundant transmission and hence achieves resource efficiency. Since, in HM2-MAC model the coefficient matrix used to encode the data is known only to the sink, no intermediate node can decode it or can pollute it. It makes multicast transmission more secure over MANET. Additionally, the use of iterative buffer flush technique preserves resources or buffer to accommodate more data for transmission and hence higher throughput. Noticeably, error sensitive packetization and MGM control strengthens our proposed model to retain optimal performance. HM2-MAC has been applied as a sub-layer of native IEEE 802.11 MAC and hence retains backward compatibility towards real-world implementation. MATLAB based simulation revealed that our proposed HM2-MAC protocol achieved almost 99.6% throughput even under varying link-loss patterns, which reveals its robustness to ensure QoS delivery with secure data transmission in MANET.
