Routing in mobile wireless sensor networks (MWSNs) is an extremely challenging issue due to the features of MWSNs. In this paper, we present a novel bio-inspired trusted routing protocol (B-iTRP) based on artificial immune system (AIS), ant colony optimization (ACO) and Physarum optimization (PO). For trust mechanism, B-iTRP monitors neighbors' behavior in real time and then assesses neighbors' trusts based on AIS. For routing strategy, each node proactively finds routes to the Sink based on ACO. When a backward ant is on the way to return source, it senses the energy residual and trust value of each node on the discovered route, and calculates the link trust and link energy of the route. Moreover, B-iTRP also assesses the availability of route based on PO to maintain the route table. Simulation results show how B-iTRP can achieve the effective performance compared to existing state-of-the-art algorithms.

Secured and reliable routing is a crucial factor for improving the performance of Wireless Mesh Networks (WMN) since these networks are susceptible to many types of attacks. The existing assumption about the internal nodes in wireless mesh networks is that they cooperate well during the forwarding of packets all the time. However, it is not always true due to the presence of malicious and mistrustful nodes. Hence, it is essential to establish a secure, reliable and stable route between a source node and a destination node in WMN. In this paper, a trust based secure routing algorithm is proposed for enhancing security and reliability of WMN, which contains cross layer and subject logic based reliable reputation scheme with security tag model for providing effective secured routing. This model uses only the trusted nodes with the forwarding reliability of data transmission and it isolates the malicious nodes from the providing path. Moreover, every node in this model is assigned with a security tag that is used for efficient authentication. Thus, by combining authentication, trust and subject logic, the proposed approach is capable of choosing the trusted nodes effectively to participate in forwarding the packets of trustful peer nodes successfully. The simulation results obtained from this work show that the proposed routing protocol provides optimal network performance in terms of security and packet delivery ratio.

본 논문은 MANET 환경에서 소스 라우팅 기반의 안전한 데이터 전송 방법에 대해서 제안한다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 방법은 제 3의 신뢰할 수 있는 키 분배 서버로부터 두 개의 해쉬키 체인을 사용하여 생성된 키를 키 서버와 데이터 전달에 참여하는 노드 간에 미리 설정된 비밀키를 사용하여 안전하게 전달하고, 각 노드 간에 데이터 전송시 키 서버로부터 수신한 해쉬키를 사용하여 MAC 코드를 생성함으로써 각 중간 노드마다 데이터를 인증하는 방식이다. 제안된 방법은 인증서 기반의 PKI를 사용하는 방법보다 간단하며, 비밀키 방식의 경우 임의의 ad-hoc 노드 제어들 간에 비밀키를 미리 설정해야하는 부담을 감소시켰다.

In edge computing scenarios, IoT end devices play a crucial role in relaying and forwarding data to significantly improve IoT network performance. However, traditional routing mechanisms are not applicable to this scenario due to differences in network size and environment. Therefore, it becomes crucial to establish an effective and reliable data transmission path to ensure secure communication between devices. In this paper, we propose a trusted path selection strategy that comprehensively considers multiple attributes, such as link stability and edge cooperation, and selects a stable and secure data transmission path based on the link life cycle, energy level, trust level, and authentication status. In addition, we propose the Stability-based On-demand Multipath Distance Vector (STAOMDV) protocol based on the Ad hoc AOMDV protocol. The STAOMDV protocol implements the collection and updating of link stability attributes during the route discovery and maintenance process. By integrating the STAOMDV protocol with the proposed path selection strategy, a dependable and efficient routing mechanism is established for IoT networks in edge computing scenarios. Simulation results validate that the proposed STAOMDV model achieves a balance in network energy consumption and extends the overall network lifespan.

Mobile ad hoc networks (MANET) refers to a network designed for special applications for which it is difficult to use a backbone network. In MANETs, applications are mostly involved with sensitive and secret information. Since MANET assumes a trusted environment for routing, security is a major issue. In this paper we analyze the vulnerabilities of a pro-active routing protocol called optimized link state routing (OLSR) against a specific type of denial-of-service (DOS) attack called node isolation attack. Analyzing the attack, we propose a mechanism called enhanced OLSR (EOLSR) protocol which is a trust based technique to secure the OLSR nodes against the attack. Our technique is capable of finding whether a node is advertising correct topology information or not by verifying its Hello packets, thus detecting node isolation attacks. The experiment results show that our protocol is able to achieve routing security with 45% increase in packet delivery ratio and 44% reduction in packet loss rate when compared to standard OLSR under node isolation attack. Our technique is light weight because it doesn't involve high computational complexity for securing the network.

Recently, MANET has been used in many fields as the range of applications increases. However, the dynamic topology that MANET has makes it difficult to route and provides the cause of exposure to security vulnerabilities. Therefore, the security features that can be robust to many attacks must have been applied in the routing technique provided in the MANET. In this paper, we propose a secure routing method that secure route is established by reliability evaluation of nodes and secure data communication has applied through key exchange mechanism. The proposed technique used hierarchical structure for efficiency of reliability evaluation of nodes. The reliability of nodes is performed by trust management node and reliability of nodes managed periodically is broadcasted. And the key exchange for secure data transmission is dene without CA as the certificate issuing organization. This allows fast key exchange and the integrity of data transmission improved. The proposed technique improves the security of the data transmission because a secure route to the destination node is established by the reliability evaluation and the data transmission is performed after the key between the source node and the destination node is exchanged through the established route.

MANET(Mobile Ad-Hoc Network)은 고정된 기반이 없이 노드간의 자율적이고 독립적인 네트워크를 구성한다. 이러한 네트워크에서 경로설정은 이동성이 많은 단말들이 임시로 망을 구성하기 때문에 망 자체간 유기적으로 자주 변하며, 이로 인해 잦은 연결실패로 인한 불안전한 환경이 조성되어 경로설정을 유지하는데 많은 어려움이 있다. 이를 효과적으로 하기 위하여 ZRP(Zone Routing Protocol) 경로설정 프로토콜이 제안 되었다. 그러나 ZRP는 보안에 관한 요소를 포함하고 있지 않기 때문에, 경로설정을 할 때 DoS(Denial of Service)공격에 취약하며, 또한 키 분배에 관한 메커니즘을 가지고 있지 않기 때문에 경로가 설정되었다고 해도 실제 데이터 전송 시 제 3자에 의하여 공격당하기 쉽다. 이를 보안하기 위해서 ZRP가 경로를 설정할 때 안전하게 경로를 설정할 수 있는 S-ZRP(Secure Zone Routing Protocol) 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 제안한 알고리즘은 경로설정 패킷에 대한 무결성 보장 및 근원지 인증 메커니즘을 통해서 보다 안전하게 전송할 수 있다.

Collaborative awareness between persons with various smart multimedia devices is a new trend in the Internet of Things (IoT). Because of the mobility, randomness, and complexity of persons, it is difficult to achieve complete data awareness and data transmission in IoT. Therefore, research must be conducted on mobile-aware service models. In this work, we first discuss and quantify the social relationships of mobile nodes from multiple perspectives based on a summary of social characteristics. We then define various decision factors (DFs). Next, we construct a directed and weighted community by analyzing the activity patterns of mobile nodes. Finally, a mobile-aware service routing algorithm (MSRA) is proposed to determine appropriate service nodes through a trusted chain and optimal path tree. The simulation results indicate that the model has superior dynamic adaptability and service discovery efficiency compared to the existing models. The mobile-aware service model could be used to improve date acquisition techniques and the quality of mobile-aware service in the IoT.

에드혹 네트웍은 동적으로 노드들을 조직화하고 네트워크 토폴로지를 사람들과 장치들 사이에 통신 인프라 없이 네트워킹이 가능하도록 하는 무선 모바일 시스템이다. 애드혹 네트워크 시스템이 매력적인 솔루션이지만 상업적으로 성장하는 것을 방해하는 결점들이 존재하며 이 결점들의 주된 문제는 보안에 관련된 것이다. 애드혹 네트워크 시스템은 평상 보안 공격에 취약하다고 알려져 있는데 이는 집중화된 키 분배센터와 노드들이 암호화 키와 디지털 증명서를 제공하기 위한 신뢰된 인증권한을 확립하기 어렵기 때문이다. 애드혹 라우팅 프로토콜 상에서 공격을 예방하기 위해 많은 알고리즘들이 사용되고 있으며, 본 논문에서 우리는 무선 멀티-홉 네트워크상에서 데이터를 안전하게 전송하는 시큐어 프레임워크에 대해 기술했고 기존의 존재하는 소스 라우팅 스키마와 제안된 스키마를 시뮬레이션 결과로 비교했다.

The interconnection of mobile devices in urban environments can open up a lot of vistas for collaboration and content-based services. This will require setting up of a network in an urban environment which not only provides the necessary services to the user but also ensures that the network is secure and energy efficient. In this paper, we propose a secure, energy efficient dynamic routing protocol for heterogeneous wireless sensor networks in urban environments. A decision is made by every node based on various parameters like longevity, distance, battery power which measure the node and link quality to decide the next hop in the route. This ensures that the total load is distributed evenly while conserving the energy of battery-constrained nodes. The protocol also maintains a trusted population for each node through Dynamic Trust Factor (DTF) which ensures secure communication in the environment by gradually isolating the malicious nodes. The results obtained show that the proposed protocol when compared with another energy efficient protocol (MMBCR) and a widely accepted protocol (DSR) gives far better results in terms of energy efficiency. Similarly, it also outdoes a secure protocol (QDV) when it comes to detecting malicious nodes in the network.
