Abstract

In this paper, we present a novel anonymous secure routing protocol for mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs). The proposed protocol not only provides anonymity from all the intermediate nodes, but also integrates the authenticated key exchange mechanisms into the routing algorithm design. Furthermore, a new attack on anonymous services, called snare attack, is introduced, where a compromised node lures a very important node (VIN) into communicating with him and traces back to the VIN by following the route path. An adversary can then snare the VIN and launch Decapitation Strike on the VIN. Finally, we present a novel DECOY mechanism as a countermeasure to enhance anonymity of VINs and defeat snare attack.
