Multicast routing for wireless mesh networks has focused on metrics that estimate link quality to maximize throughput. Nodes must collaborate in order to compute the path metric and forward data.

The assumption that all nodes are honest and

behave correctly during metric computation,

propagation, and aggregation, as well as during data forwarding, leads to unexpected consequences in adversarial networks where compromised nodes act maliciously.

 Wireless mesh networks (WMNs) emerged as a promising

technology that offers low-cost high-bandwidth community wireless services. A WMN consists of a set of stationary wireless routers that

form a multi-hop backbone, and a set of mobile clients that

communicate via the wireless backbone. Numerous applications envisioned to be deployed in WMNs, such as webcast, distance learning, online games, video conferencing, and multimedia broadcasting, follow a pattern where one or more sources disseminate data to a group of

Previous work showed vulnerabilities of unicast routing protocols that use hop count as a metric. There exists an efficient metric refreshment protocol that allows nodes to obtain correct metrics for attack recovery. metric can be

Such metric refreshment can be easily achieved by flooding of

 Our approach to defend against the identified attacks

combines measurement-based detection and accusation-based
reaction techniques. We proposed to provide multicast services for multi-hop wireless networks. Initially, these protocols were proposed for mobile ad hoc networks , focusing primarily on network connectivity and using the number of hops between the source and receivers as the route selection metric. We propose a defense scheme that combines measurement based detection and accusation-based reaction techniques.

 Client-server computing or networking is a distributed

application architecture that partitions tasks or workloads
between service providers (servers) and service requesters, called clients. A server machine is a high-performance host that is running one or more server programs. A client also shares any of its resources Clients therefore initiate communication sessions with servers which await incoming requests.

 The RSA algorithm is named after Ron Rivest, Adi Shamir and Len Adleman, who invented it in 1977. The RSA cryptosystem is the most widely-used public key cryptography algorithm in the world. It can be used to encrypt a message without the need to exchange a secret key separately. The RSA algorithm can be used for both public key encryption and digital signatures. Its security is based on the difficulty of factoring large integers.

Generate two large prime numbers, p and q Let n = pq Let m = (p-1)(q-1) Choose a small number e, coprime to m Find d, such that de % m = 1

Encryption C = Pe % n Decryption P = Cd % n

Publish e and n as the public key.

Keep d and n as the secret key.

 Digital signatures employ a type of asymmetric cryptography. Digital signatures are equivalent to traditional handwritten signatures in many respects; properly implemented digital

signatures are more difficult to forge than the handwritten type.

Digital signatures can also provide non-repudiation, meaning

that the signer cannot successfully claim they did not sign a
message, while also claiming their private key remains secret.

 Signature verification may be performed by any party (i.e., the signatory, the intended recipient or any other party) using the signatorys public key. A signatory may wish to verify that the computed signature is correct, perhaps before sending the signed message to the intended recipient.

The intended recipient (or any other party) verifies the signature to
determine its authenticity. Prior to verifying the signature of a signed message, the domain parameters, and the claimed signatorys public key and identity shall be made available to the verifier in an authenticated manner.

We considered the security implication of using high throughput metrics in multicast protocols in wireless mesh networks. In particular, we identified metric manipulation attacks that can inflict significant damage on the network. The attack snot only have a direct impact on the multicast service, but also raise additional challenges in defending against them due to

their metric poisoning effect. We overcome the challenges with our novel
defense scheme that combines measurement-based attack detection and accusation-based reaction. Our defense also copes with transient network variations and malicious attempts to attack the network indirectly by exploiting the defense itself. We demonstrate through experiments that our defense is effective against the identified attacks, resilient to malicious exploitations, and imposes a small overhead.
