Authentication Utilizing Prior Routing for Versatile Network

This document discusses authentication in mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs) using prior routing. It begins with an introduction to MANETs and some of the security issues they face, such as routing attacks that can compromise the integrity of the network. It then proposes a new security model called "Authentication Utilizing Prior Routing for Versatile Network" that integrates routing and communication security at the network layer, unlike existing approaches that provide only routing or communication security separately. The model uses existing routing protocols to address node authentication, network access control, and secure communication in MANETs.
