A NOVEL APPROACH TO ENSURE SECURITY FOR DYNAMIC ADDRESS ALLOCATION SCHEME IN MOBILE AD-HOC NETWORKS

-Abstract
This project mainly deals with the allocation of address on the receiver side that in turn ensures secure
transmission and reception of data. To serve that purpose, a secure distributed dynamic IP configuration (IPv6) protocol for
address allocation in a managed MANET is proposed where authentication of nodes is very important. Any existing node in
the network will be able to generate unique IP addresses from its own IP address for new authorized nodes using this
protocol. Therefore, a new node can obtain an IP address from its neighbor nodes without broadcasting any message over
the entire MANET during address allocation process. However, this scheme was not suitable incase of messages that
intended more privacy. In order to solve this problem, a dynamic address allocation scheme is proposed that assigns
dynamic addresses on the receiver side. For security purposes on transmitting the data, we use Advanced Encryption
Standard algorithm (AES) to ensure more security and throughput while relaying the data. Simulation results indicate that
the added security mechanisms is highly robust and scalable in a large network.
