Graph-Based Energy Supportive Routing Protocol to Resist Wormhole Attack in Mobile Adhoc Network

With the evolution of numerous secure routing protocols in mobile adhoc network, there is a tradeoff between the security effectiveness against wormhole attack and energy required to support execution of such security protocols using cryptographic approaches. This paper discusses about a novel routing protocol that offers higher degree of energy conservation when exchanging routing information and at the same time offers a joint usage of unicast, multicast and broadcasting services for faster routing update as well as faster communication establishment required from security viewpoint. The presented solution enhances multicast routing and develops a novel control message. It also rectifies the problems of an intermittent links owing to dynamic topology using graph-based approach. Compared with existing routing protocol, the proposed system offers better conservation of energy and satisfactory communication performance in mobile ad-hoc network.
