MD5: Anonymous Location-Aided Routing in Suspicious Secure MANETs

Abstract

Mobile Ad Hoc Networks use anonymous routing protocols to hide node identities and routes from outside observers in order to provide anonymity protection. However, in existing Anonymous Location-based Efficient Routing Protocol (ALERT) dynamically partitions the network field into zones and randomly chooses nodes in zones as intermediate relay nodes, which form a non-traceable anonymous route. ALERT cannot provide full anonymity protection to data sources, destinations, and routes. ALERT could not provide much more anonymity and efficiency. In ALERT, GPSR routing protocols been used. GPSR routing protocol is used for data transmission between source and destination. During data transmission using GPSR, it takes much time to reach the data to destination from the source. So in GPSR routing, there have no time constraint. We propose an protocol which uses advanced cryptographic technique in order to improve security. Anonymous Location-Aided Routing in Suspicious Secure MANETs provides both security and privacy features. This includes node authentication, anonymity, data integration and untraceability (tracking-resistance). It also offers protection against active and passive insider attacks. Here, we also propose for more security during data transmission and other things by using MD5 hashing Technique.
