About book : "Multipath Routing for Detection and Isolation of Malicious Nodes in MANET" focuses on improving security in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs), which consist of multiple wireless nodes using dynamic wireless connections. The research presents a multipath routing approach using the AOMDV protocol to establish secure and energy-efficient routes between source and destination nodes. A security algorithm is employed to provide authentication keys and protect against threats, particularly black hole attacks, to ensure secure data transmission. The study evaluates performance parameters such as throughput, end-to-end delay, energy consumption, and packet delivery ratio, comparing the proposed SCMR with existing methods. In the second phase, a secure multipath OLSR (SMOLSR) protocol is developed, combining multipath strategy and source routing with an Adaptive Dijkstra Algorithm for hop-by-hop authentication. The results show that SMOLSR outperforms traditional protocols like OLSR, AOMDV and CA-AOMDV, enhancing security and efficiency in MANETs.
