SecMR  a secure multipath routing protocol for ad hoc networks
Multipath routing in ad hoc networks increases the resiliency against security attacks of collaborating malicious nodes, by maximizing the number of nodes that an adversary must compromise in order to take control of the communication. In this paper, we identify several attacks that render multipath routing protocols vulnerable to collaborating malicious nodes. We propose an on-demand multipath routing protocol, the secure multipath routing protocol (SecMR), and we analyze its security properties. Finally, through simulations, we evaluate the performance of the SecMR protocol in comparison with existing secure multipath routing protocols.
