A Safe Proactive Routing Protocol SDSDV for Ad Hoc Network

In mobile Ad Hoc network, nodes move freely, this can lead to frequent changes of network topology. Routing protocol algorithm is the strategy to establish communication links for network nodes, and its performance influences the availability of Ad Hoc network directly. By using wireless channel to transmit data in Ad Hoc network, the invaded malicious nodes will cause various attacks, aim to steal the transmission data or destroy the network. Based on the traditional proactive routing protocol for Ad Hoc network, an improved safe routing strategy SDSDV is put forward to resist attacks against routing protocols. The safe proactive routing protocol includes route request and route response two stages. When the network initialization is complete, after successful identity authentication by each other, secure communication paths are established between nodes and the encrypted data will be transmission through the path. The protocol integrates distributed authentication, encryption algorithm, hash check, and other security policy together. SDSDV protocol reduces the risk of malicious manipulation of routing information and ensures the safe and reliable routing between the source and destination nodes.
