M. Ellcy Priana . Trust based Clustering and Secure Authentication for Multicast in AD-Hoc Network. International Journal of Computer Applications. 108, 19 ( December 2014), 9-10. DOI=10.5120/19017-9933
Ad-hoc network is a dynamic wireless network, composed of mobile nodes without the aid of centralized administration, where nodes have limited transmission range. Security is challenging issue due to the mobility of nodes can lead to dynamic topology, intermediate nodes act as a router can forward packets. Therefore authentication the source and forwarding packets with cryptographic mechanism and valid MACs is inappropriate because the data with encrypted key can send in same path can be modified by the attacker node. This paper presents a clustering mechanism with multi-hop communication and the source authentication is also done. The agent node is developed to verify the key with encrypted data is modified or not. The key management is done by the agent node. This ensure the source forwarding data is modified can be send using different path using dynamic selection of paths. The multicast protocol with hierarchical routing will increase the scalability.
