Security aware routing protocol for wireless broadband mobile networks

In this thesis, a security-aware routing protocol is developed for wireless broadband mobile networks. The developed protocol is proactive and has nondeterministic routing algorithm. Genetic algorithm is used to find shortest path and fuzzy logic is used to define the level of security of paths as linguistic labels. Based on the user defined security level, the best path between the source and the destination is determined using fuzzy logic and genetic algorithm.Experimental results illustrated that obtaining the shortest path by genetic algorithm using the paths with linguistic security levels determined by fuzzy logic is successful. Matlab is used for network simulation and determination of suitable parameters of the developed protocol.
