Abstract

The secure operation of the routing protocol is one of the majorchallenges to be met for the proliferation of the Mobile Ad hocNetworking (MANET) paradigm. Nevertheless, securityenhancements have been proposed mostly for reactive MANETprotocols. The proposed here Secure Link State Routing Protocol(SLSP) provides secure proactive topology discovery, which canbe multiply beneficial to the network operation. SLSP can beemployed as a stand-alone protocol, or fit naturally into a hybridrouting framework, when combined with a reactive protocol.SLSP is robust against individual attackers, it is capable ofadjusting its scope between local and network-wide topologydiscovery, and it is capable of operating in networks offrequently changing topology and membership.
