Abstract

Due to the nature of radio transmissions, communications in wireless networks are easy to capture and analyze. Next to this, privacy enhancing techniques (PETs) proposed for wired networks such as the Internet often cannot be applied to mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs). In this paper we present a novel anonymous on demand routing scheme for MANETs. We identify a number of problems of previously proposed works and propose an efficient solution that provides anonymity in a stronger adversary model.
