Abstract

Secure routing and data transmission has stimulated wide interest in Ad Hoc network research since it is more vulnerable to attacks due to its structural characteristics. Several efficient and secure schemes have been proposed to protect the network from external attacks. However, they still lack very efficient ways to detect and resist internal attacks. Here we proposed a secure data transmission protocol (SDTP) based on the Reed-Solomon errorcorrect coding to achieve secure data transmission in a Byzantine attack-existing environment. This protocol can distinguish malicious behaviors from transmission errors and locate the malicious node accurately. The algorithms used in this protocol also apply to secure routing protocols.
