On Mitigating Malicious Behavior Against Routing in Wireless Network

Network routing is a cooperative process. The network performance will be seriously degraded if one or more network components are compromised to network attackers and they behave maliciously. There have been a few literatures to address the robustness of network routing but few of them have holistic countermeasure against them (especially combined misbehavior). In this paper, we propose a novel network protocol to address these imperative issues that have been ignored in existing literature. We present the scalability evaluation of our network protocol through the simulation in NS2. We derive the complete analytical model behind our design. The respective simulation result from NS2 also proves the correctness of the analytical model. The simulation results on the network performance improvement compared to other solutions are also presented.
