Comparative Performance Analysis of AESCRT Using NS2

MANETs are normally used in applications which are highly confidential in nature, such as defense, disaster management, etc. Secure data transmission is one of the challenging issues in MANET. Secret sharing has been one of the popular techniques for implementing security in MANETs. The existing logics for securing the packet delivery seem to involve too many control signal interchanges. This paper discusses the performance of a multiple agent based secured routing scheme to detect secure routes with minimum load on the network. The Chinese remainder theorem is used in generating the secure key by the source node. Source node shares the secure key among all probable routes using multiple agents. The three phased approach is aimed to increase the overall performance in the network. Performance metrics which are used to evaluate the performance of AESCRT are delivery rate, load, malicious nodes and packet dropped. Simulation analysis shows that performance of AESCRT give better result compared to other existing routing protocols.
