Abstract

Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) are collections of autonomousmobile nodes with links that are made or brokenin an arbitrary way. They have no fixed infrastructure andmay have constrained resources. The next generation of ITapplications is expected to rely heavily on such networks.However, before they can be successfully deployed severalsecurity threats must be addressed. These are mainly due tothe ad hoc nature of these networks. Consequently it may bemuch harder (or even impossible) to establish routing communicationpaths that can tolerate malicious faults. In thispaper we first propose a general Bayesian model that satisfiesthe basic mobility requirements of a MANET and definethe requirements for secure communication in this model.We then consider several multipath routing schemes andpropose a new adaptive multipath routing algorithm thatsatisfies our security requirements.
