Secure Routing in Wireless Ad-hoc Network using ARD Mechanism and Elliptic Curve Routing Algorithm

Abstract

Ad-hoc networks are utilized to setupwirelesscommunicationsintoday’senvironment for more advanced infrastructure. It has become more essential for large places to centralize the main point to authorize and authenticate with the changing nature of network topology. There are number of attacks that can be used to manipulate the routing in an ad-hoc network. The protocol, named Authentication Routing Dynamic (ARD) for Ad-hoc networks, uses encrypting mechanisms to defeat all identified attacks. This ARD mechanism detects and protects malicious actions by third parties and peers. It also presentssecurity, message reliability and non-repudiation to routing in ad-hoc networks. It isan important issue in any wireless network. Many protocols are being designed for providing security in ad-hoc network to protect the data or network from various threads and attacks. Security is being provided by Elliptic Curve Routing Algorithm (ECRA) which consumes less energy and provides greater security over the network. It proposed protocols such as AODV and OSP present in the network.
