Abstract

The large scale coverage and multi-hop architecture of wireless mesh networks (WMNs) are such characteristics which are vulnerable to network layer threats. So far many secure routing techniques have been proposed but they are only capable to handle single network layer attack. In this paper, we propose a secure route selection mechanism for WMN, which is robust against a variety of multi-hop threats and performs well over a range of scenarios we tested.
