Anonymity Protection in MANETs By Zone Partitioning

Abstract

Anonymous routing protocols play a vital role in MANETs in order to provide secure communications by concealing the identity of the nodes and avoiding traffic analysis assail from exterior observers. So, my project focuses on providing anonymity protection to data sources, destination and route, by concealing the node’s identity and location which means that it should be tough enough for other nodes to obtain its real identity and exact location of the sender and the receiver. Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs) use anonymous routing protocol where as the earlier routing protocols concentrated on concealing the node identity and/or routes from outside observers by using hop-by-hop encryption method or redundant traffic in order to provide anonymity protection, but it was not that highly secure and it incurred much cost for encrypting each and every node and timing attack and intersection attack prevailed. So, the proposed algorithm i.e., an Anonymous Location Based Efficient Routing Protocol (ALERT) which uses hierarchical zone partitioning process to overcome all the aforementioned problems & also overcomes intersection & timing attacks and reduces the cost to a greater extent & enforcing higher security, ALERT offers anonymity protection to all the three i.e. source, destination & route anonymity which was not possible by earlier used protocols.
