Trust Enhanced Anonymous Routing in Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks

Anonymous routing is a value-added technique used in mobile ad hoc networks for the purposes of security and privacy concerns. It has inspired lot of research interest, but very few measures exist to trust-aware routing for anonymity protection. This paper proposes a reliable anonymous MANET routing protocol in the sense that the communicating parties are capable of choosing a secure end-to-end route free of any untrustworthy node during the anonymous route discovery process. The key features of our scheme are including of accomplishment of anonymity-related goals, trust-aware anonymous routing, effective pseudonym management and lightweight overhead in computation, communication and storage.
