A reactive protocol for privacy preserving using location based Routing in MANETs

Mobile Ad hoc networks (MANETs) are an infrastructure less,self configuring network. These networks can be setup easilyanywhere and anytime without any base infrastructure, thus theyhave proved to be very efficient is rescue related areas like floodand fire. MANETs are now extended to be used in military andlaw enforcement. MANETs still face the major problem ofsecurity and privacy, especially when used in sensitive areas ofcomputing. Secure routing protocols have been developed toprovide various levels of security and privacy in the past. Thispaper presents a Routing scheme based on Location AidedRouting schemes to improve routing facilities along with someenhanced signature schemes to provide privacy and security ofdata. We prove it by simulation in ns2.
