Abstract

The issue of secure charging must be solved before integrating networks are employed in commercial applications. In order to solve this problem, a secure incentive-based charging scheme for integrating networks is proposed. The scheme adopts charging receipt to thwart non-reputation attacks. Meanwhile, Message Authentication Code (MAC) and stream cipher mechanism are introduced to offer security guarantee. Security analysis shows that the proposed scheme not only grants the existence of selfish nodes to meet their rational demand, but also prevent various active attacks (e.g., denial of services (DoS), replay attacks, tampering attacks and impersonation attacks). Finally, simulation analysis indicates the influence of proposed scheme on routing stability and node incentive in low overhead.
