Abstract

ZigBee network is a kind of flexible wireless network technology and the performance of the network might be severely affected in the presence of malicious attack. Hence, security is critical issue and new techniques of security measures are essential for high-survivability network. Based on that AODVjr routing protocol is suitable for ZigBee network, in this paper, we have enhanced the security of reactive routing protocol, specially Ad Hoc On-Demand Distance Vector junior (AODVjr) protocol, by means of hop-by-hop identification verification. We also discuss the optimization of security scheme on real platform. Through practical experiments, the improved AODVjr routing protocol demonstrates a better routing flexibility and stronger security to malicious attack. We can verify that the AODVjr routing protocol with security enhancement has larger flexible application in ZigBee network.
