Abstract The Internet of Things (IoT) could be described as the pervasive and global network
which aids and provides a system for the monitoring and control of the physical world …

In vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs), trust establishment among vehicles is important to
secure integrity and reliability of applications. In general, trust and reliability help vehicles to …

The mobile nodes are infrequent movement in nature; therefore, its packet transmission is
also infrequent. Packet overload occurred for routing process, and data are lossed by …

Performance and security are two critical functions of wireless ad-hoc networks (WANETs).
Network security ensures the integrity, availability, and performance of WANETs. It helps to …

This work introduces a model of data forwarding in MANETs which is used for recognizing
malicious packet dropping behaviors. First, different legitimate packet discard situations are …

The focus of this paper is on base functionalities required for UAV-based rapid deployment
of an ad hoc communication infrastructure in the initial phases of rescue operations. The …

The exchange of correct and reliable data among legitimate nodes is one of the most
important challenges in vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs). Malicious nodes and …

This paper presents a novel approach intended to detect the well-known sinkhole attack in
MANETs, one of the most representative route poisoning attacks aimed at exploiting multi …

Wireless communications, nowadays, becomes a vital element of people's daily life.
Providing global connectivity in future communication systems via the heterogeneous …

In this article, a novel pseudorandom key chaining (PRKC) algorithm is introduced and
evaluated. This lightweight symmetric scheme enables a transmission-triggered time …
