Title
Secure and efficient data transfer using spreading and assimilation in MANET
Abstract
Mobile ad hoc Network (MANET) is a cluster of moveable devices connected through a wireless medium to design network with rapidly changing topologies due to mobility. MANETs are applicable in variety of innovative application scenarios where smart devices exchange data among each other. In this case, security of data is the major concern to provide dependable solution to users. This article presents a secure mechanism for data transfer where sender splits the data into fragments and receiver gets the actual data by assimilating the data fragments. We have presented an Enhanced Secured Lempel-Ziv-Welch (ES-LZW) algorithm that provides cryptographic operations for secure data transfer. In proposed model, we have utilized the disjoint paths to transfer the data fragments from sender side and assimilate these fragments at receiver to get the original data. The messages containing data fragments are compressed and encrypted as well. Our scheme ensures confidentiality, integrity, efficient memory utilization, and resilience against node compromising attacks. We have validated our work through extensive simulations in NS-2.35 using TCL and C language. Results prove that our scheme reduces memory consumption along with less encryption and decryption cost as compared to blowfish especially when plaintext has more repetitive data. We have also analyzed the impact of creating data fragments, fraction of communication compromised, and probability to compromise the data fragments by subverting intermediaries.
