Abstract
Abstract — In addition to classical security issues, clustered ad hoc networks face the possibility that some nodes may exhibit uncooperative behaviour. Therefore, misbehaviour detection and reputation mechanisms need to be implemented in order to reinforce node cooperation. In this paper, we address the issue of detecting noncooperative behaviour during packet forwarding in heterogeneous networks with clustered mobile ad hoc extensions. The proposed solution incorporates end-to-end authenticated acknowledgments for each transmitted packet, combined with explicit authenticated alarms sent by legitimate nodes along the path to the source, every time they encounter a suspicious event. Low computational overhead is achieved by employing an adapted version of the TESLA symmetric key broadcast authentication protocol.
