Performance Comparison between IBC-HWMP and Hash-HWMP

In this paper we have implemented the Hash technique to provide security in HWMP (Hybrid Wireless Mesh Protocol). Then after, we compared the Hash based HWMP against IBC (Identity Based Cryptography) based HWMP. This study has been carried out to show the great benefits of the IBC technique in securing HWMP. Results have shown that, IBC-HWMP outperforms the hash-based HWMP in terms of overhead and delay. According to the obtained results the use of IBC with HWMP provides a greate level of security with light overhead.
