Abstract

Abstract:
The Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) is characterized by a lack of infrastructure,
and by a random and quickly changing network topology; thus the need for a robust
dynamic routing protocol that can accommodate such an environment is an important
issue. In this paper we presented an enhanced reliable Ad Hoc multicasting protocol
that satisfies efficiency and robustness which is an essential in relative applications.
To enhance the multicasting routing there are two key concepts, the first key concept
is to fair the distribution of the data packets among nodes according to the states of
nodes load, and the second one is to use the most stable route, which remains
connected for the longest duration of time while preserving the network robustness.
Due to the nature of ad hoc networks, secure routing is an important area of research
in developing secured routing protocols. The paper presents a secured routing
protocol for Ad Hoc network to be suitable for relative applications. The proposed
protocol based on two key concepts, the first key concept is to authenticate the route
of the control packets among nodes according to the Message Authentication Code
(MAC); the second one is to encrypt the packet by random selection of algorithm
from a set of algorithms which changes each hop.
After words, this paper applies the proposed secured protocol for the previous work
and a comparative study has been made between the proposed protocol and the
previous protocol.
