Improving the resiliency of Ariadne

Abstract

Ariadne is a popular secure ad hoc routing protocol based on the dynamic source routing (DSR) protocol. While Ariadne was designed to be capable of detecting attacks by non colluding attackers, it does not include measures to identify or narrow down perpetrators responsible for such attacks. We propose some modifications to Ariadne to improve its resiliency, by affording the ability to identify and route around malicious nodes.
