DYNAMIC ROUTING WITH
SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS
Background
Security has become one of the major
issues for data communication over wired
and wireless networks. Different from the
past work on the designs of cryptography
algorithms and system infrastructures, an
analytic study on the proposed algorithm is
presented, and experiments are conducted
to verify the analytic results and to show
the capability of the proposed algorithm.
Proposed solution
Algorithm/Technique used:
Distance-vector-based algorithm for dynamic
routing.
Algorithm Description:
A distance-vector-based algorithm for
dynamic routing to improve the security of
data transmission. We propose to rely on
existing distance information exchanged
among neighboring nodes (referred to as
routers as well in this paper) for the seeking
of routing paths.
In many distance-vector-based
implementations, e.g., those based on RIP,
each node it maintains a routing table in which
each entry is associated with a tuple and Next
hop denote some unique destination node, an
estimated minimal cost to send a packet to ,
and the next node along the minimal-cost path
to the destination node, respectively
