Anonymous Routing Protocols for Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks

Nowadays, with the development of mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs), it attracts more attention by researchers. MANETs not only can be used for military application, but also can be used for citizens. For military, MANETs works in hostile environments with lacking of infrastructure. And for civil application, MANETs show their power in many way like communication between cars or self-construct temporary network consist of laptops. Meanwhile, more research focus on the anonymity and security of MANETs. To meet those requirements, many routing protocols were proposed to ensure the goal of anonymity and security. This paper introduce several anonymous routing protocols for MANETs, and classify those protocols into two parts: On-Demand Anonymous routing protocols and None On-Demand Anonymous routing protocols. Besides, this paper compares the differences between those protocols.
