Abstract

Traditional routing protocols deployed to provide communication among mobile nodes in wireless ad hoc networks (MANET) assume a trust and collaborating environment inside the network. However, this assumption is not always true and a hostile or unprotected environment can seriously affect the protocol and network performance. In this work two kinds of approaches are applied to a well-known routing protocol called SAODV in order to improve its performance and to offer more resilience to attack from malicious nodes authenticated by the network. A preventive approach based on a cryptographic mechanism and a reactive approach to detect the anomalous and malicious behavior of nodes are considered. An extension of SAODV to offer Intrusion Detection mechanism (IDM) and trust-based mechanism (TBM) to promote the collaboration of the cooperating node and penalize the selfish nodes are proposed. The extended and proposed protocol SAODV-SDO is presented and simulation results were performed in order to show the effectiveness of our proposal in comparison with AODV and SAODV.
