Abstract

We analyze the secure routing protocol (SRP) introduced by P. Papadimitratos and Z.J. Haas (see SCS Communication Networks and Distributed Systems, 2002) as a means of making ad hoc networks secure. Flaws in the authors´ conclusions are discussed pertaining to SRP´s stated goals. We then introduce an attack which demonstrates SRP´s vulnerabilities and propose a solution based on the watchdog scheme.
