UOSPR: UnObservable secure proactive routing protocol for fast and secure transmission using B.A.T.M.A.N

Abstract

USOR deals with the concept of unlinkability, unobservability and anonymity by combining group signature and ID-based encryption for route discovery. Apart from the security, there is another requirement in transmission is effective and efficient delivery of data. USOR uses ordinary distance calculations to get the knowledge about neighbour nodes. At the same time we can't incorporate the entire information about the network into single node or every node. We know that nodes in ad-hoc network have limited storage and battery power. Already half of the power vested in security, remaining power has to be used for calculating routes and data transmission. For that we are merging the above USOR with Better Approach To Mobile Ad-hoc Networking, or B.A.T.M.A.N. which is a routing protocol that has the knowledge of its best route alone — no single node has all the data. This technique eliminates extending the information to the concerning network changes to every node in the network. Each node only maintains the best hop details not the entire network topology. From this we are achieving fast transmission of data in a secure way with minimum node failure rate.
