In mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs), since all of the nodes communicate each other based on the routing protocol, and an attacker could manipulate a lower-level protocol to interrupt a security mechanism in a higher-level one, securing routing protocol is an important issue in MANETs. Recently, there exist several proposals that attempt to develop a secure routing protocol for MANETs. However, those methods are not actually secure against a variety of attacks, including the Sybil, wormhole, black hole, replay, blackmail, denial of service, and routing table poisoning attacks. Therefore, in this paper we design a secure hierarchical-clustering-based routing scheme using the self-certified public key cryptosystem, elliptic curve cryptosystem, pre-hashing, and nonce techniques against such attacks. Finally, we also analyze the advantages of our proposed scheme in terms of security and superiority.
