The success of mobile ad hoc networks (MANET) in many applications demands adequate security measures for the routing protocols. The MANET environment offers unique challenges to making routing secure without introducing onerous computational or operational requirements. In this paper, we present a comprehensive analysis of the attacks on the routing protocols in ad hoc wireless networks, and introduce the Secure Neighborhood Routing Protocol (SNRP), which offers detection of several malicious behaviors and robustness under various routing attacks. While offering this security, it also minimizes the cryptographic computational overhead.
Dr. Eric E. Johnson has led research in wireless networks for over 20 years and has been a key contributor to HF radio developments since the beginning of what is now regarded as the second generation. He chairs the government/industry Technical Advisory Committee that guides the development of US Military Standards for HF radio, represents the US at the NATO beyond-line-of-sight working group, and was the author or editor of four of the current generation of US and NATO standards for HF protocols and modems. Dr. Johnson is also the lead author of "Advanced High-Frequency Radio Communications." He is Professor and Director of the Computer Engineering Faculty in the Klipsch School of Electrical and Computer Engineering at New Mexico State University and also teaches short courses in HF radio for AFCEA and NATO.
