Abstract

The anonymous security in MANETs has drawn more attention in the military and commercial applications. Anonymous routing protocol is designed for avoiding node identity from being leaked by other nodes during communication and insuring the communication route not to be discovered. The anonymity goals of the protocol include identity anonymity, location anonymity and route anonymity. Although some anonymous routing protocols have been proposed, the requirement is not fully satisfied. In this paper, we propose a new anonymous routing protocol, i.e., fully anonymous security routing protocol (FASRP), to satisfy the requirement and defend against some potential attacks. We prove that it is an anonymous, effective and secure routing protocol. Through the simulation in NS-2, we demonstrate that FASRP has comparable network performance with the AODV and DSR routing protocols in some applications.
