Abstract

The main characteristic and advantage of a mobile ad-hoc network is its infrastructure-less, highly dynamic topology, which is prone to malicious traffic analysis. Malicious intermediate nodes in wireless mobile ad-hoc networks are a threat to network security. A passive attacker can perform traffic analysis against interceptable routing information embedded in routing messages and data packets. Adversaries, if allowed to trace network routes and infer motion patterns of nodes, may affect covert operations. To overcome the issues related to passive attack, we need to propose a better routing scheme which hides the essential details but at the same time satisfies the requirements of a routing protocol.
