An efficient and secure method for quality video streaming in Mobile Ad-hoc Network

Nowadays video streaming technique is becoming more popular with rapid growth in multimedia applications. Real time distortion less video streaming requires high quality of service at the user end. Actually it is delay sensitive for limited resources in wireless environment. In this paper, we have analyzed efficient and secure method for quality video streaming using different routing protocols namely Zone Routing Protocol (ZRP), Ad-hoc On-demand Distance Vector (AODV), Ad-hoc On-demand Multipath Distance Vector (AOMDV), and Directed Diffusion (DDIFF) protocols on Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET). Ensuring security by using cryptography approach in MANET is a very challenging issue. In this paper, we are using the symmetric cryptography approach based on Rijndael Algorithm of Advance Encryption Standard (RA-AES) to maintain desired security level for quality video streaming among various nodes. We have analyzed the entire above mention routing protocols on the basis of different performance matrices such as throughput, end-to-end delay, energy consumption and normalized routing load. The simulation and data analysis have been done with the help of Network Simulator tool (NS-2) and MATLAB®.
