A Survey on Anonymous On-Demand Routing Protocols for MANETs

At present Mobile ad hoc networks (MANET) is used in many real time applications and hence such networks are vulnerable to different kinds of security threats. MANET networks suffered more from security attacks due to use of free wireless communication frequency spectrum and dynamic topology. Therefore it becomes very tough to provide security to MANET under different adversarial environments like battlefields. For MANET, anonymous communications are vital under the adversarial environments, in which the identification of nodes as well as routes is replaced by pseudonyms or random numbers for the purpose of protection. There are many protocols presented for anonymous communication security for MANET, which hide node identities and routes from exterior observers in order to provide anonymity protection. This paper presents review of various anonymous on demand routing protocols

A REVIEW ON SECURITY ENHANCEMENT THROUGH ANONYMOUS ROUTING IN MANET

Mobile Ad Hoc Network(MANET) is an infrastructure less network. Any node may enter or leave network at anytime. MANET also has less resources and limited security. MANET is vulnerable to attacks because of its lack of centralized infrastructure. Security in MANET can be achieved by Anonymous routing which hide source, destinationand route information to provide. This paper provides a review on efficient anonymous routing protocols used in MANET and also compares the security in terms of identity, location and route anonymity. An anonymous routing protocol that conceals the essential details and satisfies the basic protocol properties has to be proposed

A Protective Mechanism to Avoid Eavesdropping Attack in MANET

Wireless ad hoc network is self-directed and infrastructure less network. Wireless ad hoc network is particularly inclined due to its basic characteristics, such as open medium, dynamic topology, distributed cooperation, and capability constraint. Routing plays an imperative part in the security of the whole system. Secure transmission of data in wireless ad hoc environment is an imperative concern. Any aggressor get remote flag by using transceiver and without being caught. The objective of this paper is to propose new secure unobservable routing protocol where attacker gets blocked while making spoofing or DOS attacks. Only oblivious message could be gathered by attacker. Proposed protocol will also protect privacy information among network and will detect and block attacking nodes through trust mechanism.

Authentication in a layered security approach for mobile ad hoc networks

An ad hoc network is a collection of nodes that do not need to rely on a predefined infrastructure to keep the network connected. Nodes communicate amongst each other using wireless radios and operate by following a peer-to-peer network model. In this article we investigate authentication in a layered approach, which results to multiple lines of defense for mobile ad hoc networks. The layered security approach is described and design criteria for creating secure ad hoc network using multiple authentication protocols are analysed. The performance of several such known protocols, which are based on challenge-response techniques, is presented through simulation results

EsPRESSo: Efficient Privacy-Preserving Evaluation of Sample Set Similarity

Electronic information is increasingly often shared among entities without complete mutual trust. To address related security and privacy issues, a few cryptographic techniques have emerged that support privacy-preserving information sharing and retrieval. One interesting open problem in this context involves two parties that need to assess the similarity of their datasets, but are reluctant to disclose their actual content. This paper presents an efficient and provably-secure construction supporting the privacy-preserving evaluation of sample set similarity, where similarity is measured as the Jaccard index. We present two protocols: the first securely computes the (Jaccard) similarity of two sets, and the second approximates it, using MinHash techniques, with lower complexities. We show that our novel protocols are attractive in many compelling applications, including document/multimedia similarity, biometric authentication, and genetic tests. In the process, we demonstrate that our constructions are appreciably more efficient than prior work.Comment: A preliminary version of this paper was published in the Proceedings of the 7th ESORICS International Workshop on Digital Privacy Management (DPM 2012).

Enhanced Secure Group on-Demand Routing Protocol for MANET

Abstract: MANET doesn't need a set network infrastructure; each single node works as each a transmitter and a receiver and they trust their neighbors to relay messages. Unfortunately, the open medium and remote distribution of MANET create it at risk of numerous kinds of attacks. In this project, we define solid privacy requirements regarding malicious attackers in MANET. There are so many existing research work proposed a implementation of new intrusion-detection systems. Existing works demonstrated the higher malicious-behavior-detection rates in certain circumstances while does not greatly affect the network performances. But the problem is most of the systems are on-demand manner, that means after the attack only detection will be done. These methods may help to civil application, but in defense application existing system won't provide much security. So we proposed a method with incorporated digital signature with group ID and Routing packets. By our method we can avoid the INTRUDERS

Source-destination obfuscation in wireless ad hocnetworks

The identity and/or location of communicating entities in wireless ad hocnetworks is extremely important due to the potential of their being identified and subsequently subjected to cyber or physical attacks. In this paper, we show that a global attacker who can eavesdrop on the overall data transmissions and count them can simply visualize the transmissions and infer contextual information. Current approaches to obfuscate the locations of source and destinations do not provide protection against such attacks. We propose two novel techniques (1) SECLOUD: Source and Destination Seclusion using Clouds to obfuscate the true source/destination nodes and make them indistinguishable among a group of neighbor nodes, and (2) ANONYRING: Anonymous Ring which hides the source/destination nodes within a group of nodes that form a ring. Both proposed techniques work well even under network-wide traffic visualization by a global attacker. Furthermore the proposed techniques are shown viasimulation to be superior to existing schemes in the literature. © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd
