A method to improve the performance of endairA for MANETs

Abstract

Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANETs) are self-configurable and self-reliance networks. Due to this these networks are vulnerable to routing attacks. endairA[6] is one of the secure on demand routing protocol for MANETs. In endairA[6], an intermediate node verifies all the signatures carried by the route reply which is a big computational overhead and expensive in terms of power consumption, end-to-end delay. We propose a new approach Impro-endiarA, which will verify at most two signatures at every intermediate node. Proposed approach is efficient in terms of power consumption, end-to-end delay and mitigating some attacks which are possible on some variants of endairA [6]. © 2012 ICST Institute for Computer Science, Social Informatics and Telecommunications Engineering.
