Privacy Preserving Bee Routing Protocol for Intermittently Connected Mobile Networks

Abstract

The Intermittently Connected Mobile Networks (ICMN) is a disconnected mobile network where a complete connectivity never exists. More number of moving nodes makes them impenetrable genre which in turn makes the network intermittently connected. Detection of malicious node and routing is onerous due to its genre. In this paper, we put forward a secure routing that aids in detecting and preventing intrusion of malicious nodes. The routing process is made more adorable through Bee Colony Optimization (BCO). The amalgamation of BCO with authentication series leads a novel routing protocol named Privacy Preserving Bee Routing Protocol (PPBRP) which is highly secure. The degree of security is tested with malicious nodes in the network to prove that the proposed PPBRP ensures secure routing.
