Probabilistic Anonymous Routing in Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks

Abstract

In this paper, we propose a routing protocol which ensures route anonymity, for the user. Amongst all suboptimal paths between source and destination, path for data transfer is chosen randomly at each intermediate node. Route anonymity becomes essential for preventing attacks like traffic monitoring. Bayesian approach has been employed for route discovery phase of the protocol. The protocol is simulated using NCTUNS network simulator. The robustness of our protocol is evaluated against known security attacks.

Improve the Onion Routing Performance and Security with Cryptographic Algorithms

“…Key exchange is the process of securely sharing cryptographic keys between two parties to enable encrypted communication. In onion routing, the required encryption keys are established using a key exchange algorithm, which helps to ensure the confidentiality and integrity of the communication [26].…”
