Abstract

Wireless Ad Hoc networks are particularly vulnerable due to their fundamental characteristics such as an open medium, dynamic topology, distributed cooperation and constrained capability. Location information of nodes can be critical in wireless ad hoc networks, especially in those deployed for military purposes. In this paper, we present a set of protocols for anonymous routing to prevent location disclosure attacks in wireless ad hoc networks.
