SPAMR: a Secure Routing Protocol of Wireless Mesh Network to Prevent Wormhole Attack

This paper analyzed the wormhole attack implementation methods in the wirelwss mesh networks(WMNs). Combined with the existing wireless network security protocol SPAAR (Secure Position Aided Ad hoc Routing), this paper presented a security protocol SPAMR (Secure Position Aided Mesh Routing) that applied to wireless mesh networks. In this protocol, the location information of nodes was collected by GPS system, and one hop neighbor table was established by every wireless mess router in the network. By using the cryptography method, the secure communication between network nodes could be realized very well and wormhole attack could be prevented. The performance analysis showed that this protocol worked very well in wireless mess networks, so as to realize safe communication.
