ABSTRACT

Security assessment of routing and authentication protocols is based on the comparison of basic and secured versions of protocols such as AODV, SAODV, DSDV, SEAD, ZRP, SRP, LHAP, HEAP etc. In this paper, a framework for security assessment is presented. It is a complete system that attempts to provide the promised services to each user or application. To assess the security of different protocols, a security index is assigned. The value of security index shows how much a protocol is secured. To assign the security index, security parameters have been found out and the performance of different protocols have been analyzed under normal condition, Black Hole attack, Wormhole attack, and DoS attack.
