SDSR: A secure on-demand routing protocol for MANETS

Secured data transmission in Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANET) are most recent research issues for ensuring full applicability of deploying MANETs in wide range of applications, including strategic as well as nonstrategic. On-demand routing protocols for Mobile Adhoc Networks (MANET) include Dynamic Source Routing (DSR), which is capable of discovering multiple routes. Secure Dynamic Source Routing Protocol (SDSR) on the other hand provides mechanism for secured route discovery, even under adversarial conditions.Moreover, SDSR uses a very efficient broadcast authentication mechanism which does not require any clock synchronization and facilitates instant authentication. Here we uses NS2 simulator and several different simulation results show that performance of SDSR is improved when compared to Ariadne and DSR.
