BRAVO: A black-hole resilient ad-hoc on demand distance Vector rOuting for tactical communications

Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANET) are widely used in tactical scenarios because they can be deployed rapidly in hostile areas and the distributed nature of their operations makes them robust to nodes failures. However, distributed control involves new vulnerabilities that might be critical in electronic warfare scenarios. In this paper we focus on black hole attacks which introduce in the network fake routing information. On the consequence of the...
