Abstract :
Most of the secure ad hoc routing protocols are based on cryptographic solutions whose drawback is to decrease the network performances. In this paper, we propose a secure routing scheme for the DSR protocol. The proposed scheme combines the hash chains and digital signatures to provide a high level of security while reducing the costs of hop-by-hop signature verification. The proposed protocol is analyzed regarding its security. Several scenarios are used to demonstrate its efficiency in presence of attacks.
