Abstract : Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) have become a likely candidate for a wide range of threats. Each and every routing protocol in MANETs should preserve anonymity of mobile devices and data, along with unlinkability of data packets. With an aim of improving routing efficiency, many routing protocols either partially sacrificed anonymity or disregarded unlinkability. Here, we propose a multipath routing protocol that will enhance security as well as efficiency of routing in MANETs. Anonymity and unlinkability are completely preserved through the concepts of keyed hash chain and per-hop data packet appearance alteration. Also, the routing efficiency is enhanced through the formulation of a route selection parameter called Link Stability Metric (LSM) and the deployment of an elaborate route maintenance phase. The proposed system has been simulated and tested, and the results indicate that security as well as routing efficiency is enhanced considerably.
