Investigating Secure Framework for Hybrid Multipath Ad Hoc Network

In recent years, with ubiquitous computing, the interconnection of MANET to Internet is getting more attention. Further, as use of multipath ad hoc routing protocols is favorable in many application, hybrid multipath MANET, which is a MANET with multiple routes to the Internet, will also grow. Security issues in hybrid MANET, however, is still challenging task. This paper addresses security issues related to Internet connectivity and ad hoc routing. And we propose a secure framework for global connectivity for connected multipath MANET. Security and performance analysis show that the proposed framework is effective.
