Abstract

In Mobile Ad hoc networks energy is a critical resource, highly consumed by routing functions. In order to preserve it, nodes may decide not to participate in forwarding others' packets and drop them. Isolating these nodes is an efficient solution to decrease packet's loss. We propose in this paper a new secure protocol to monitor, detect, and safely isolate such misbehaving nodes. The proposed solution is based on the Probing technique. It also uses hash chains and Diffie-Hellman protocol to authenticate the nodes during data exchange. The secure protocol is analyzed using the NS-2 simulator.
