FAN: Framework for Authentication of Nodes in Mobile Adhoc Environment of Internet-of-Things

The Mobile Adhoc Network (MANET) has undergone significant improvement in the form of routing capabilities but still it lacks security potentials owing to its dynamic topology problems. Adoption of MANET in ubiquitous environment e.g. Internet-of-Things (IoT) could significant increase the communication capability but it could introduce significant level of threats too at same time. Therefore, the proposed manuscript introduces a Framework for Authentication (FAN) of mobile nodes where the technique first offers light-weight ciphering technique to initial stage of node communication followed by providing a significant access permission to authorized mobile nodes only to participate in data dissemination process. This analytical technique is also proven to offer communication efficiency apart from security against major potential threats on IoT environment.
