ARCRECTZONE: A LIGHTWEIGHT CURVED RECTANGLE VECTOR BASED SECURE ROUTING FOR MOBILE AD-HOC SENSOR NETWORK

Abstract

Location aided routing in Mobile-Ad hoc networks are the most significant process because it limits the route search and allows routing with least messages. Due to the dynamic and uncertain infrastructure of Ad-hoc and sensor networks also creates several security issues like route misbehaviors. This paper aims to develop a new lightweight route selection scheme with the security concern. In this scheme, the routing attack targets are identified and avoided by deploying intellectual watchdog and lightweight key verification mechanisms, the scheme also utilizes the curved rectangle zone selection for shrinking route search space. The scheme is extended to adopt the curved rectangle zone routing for both Ad-hoc and Sensor Networks. The core functionality of the proposed work in terms of cost effective and secure route selection is validated by NS-2 tool. The experimental results demonstrated that the proposed approach is cost effective and secure and provides significant performance improvements with least energy consumption.
