Abstract

The Position Aware Secure and Efficient Mesh Routing Protocol (PASER) aims to efficiently establish accurate routes in terms of legitimate mesh nodes in wireless mesh networks in presence of external attackers. This poster gives an overview of the implementation code of PASER in OMNeT++, the modules it incorporates and their interaction. Striving for code validation and security verification, PASER is first evaluated in comparison to the well-known routing protocols HWMP, OLSR and BATMAN in simulation. Afterwards, the OMNeT++ code of PASER is ported to Linux and the simulation results are validated by experimental measurements. The results show that PASER achieves a reasonable trade-off between security and performance in the evaluated scenario.
