Objective: Despite their potential benefits, MANETs are currently not able to meet the stringent
security and quality-of-service (QoS) requirements in
military settings. In this project, we investigate these two key issues and
integrate them so that various attacks can be detected/avoided
during the QoS-aware operations of the network.
Approach: Develop basic mechanisms such as traffic prioritization and
packet authentication at MAC layer. Consider soft QoS
techniques across transport, network and data link layers Consider behavior
monitoring to combat both outsider and internal attacks
Deliverables: Implementation of proposed QoS
and security mechanisms using ns2 and/or glomosim
Publications and reports describing the details of proposed mechanisms and
their effectiveness
