Abstract (EN): Many security issues are raised with the incremental deployment of ad hoc networks. This paper proposes a secure routing protocol applied to reactive next hop ad hoc routing protocols, denoted AD hoc SEcure Routing Reactive Next Hop (ADSER-RNH). The aim of this protocol is to mitigate the major security issues of ad hoc routing. The main characteristics of the proposal are its support of message integrity and signing and key distribution, with low computational complexity in the majority of tasks performed. ADSER-RNH takes as a baseline some current security protocols, trying to gather their benefits so as to mitigate their current needs. In summary, this protocol is able to mitigate identity problems through signatures, trust issues through prevention of wrong route advertisements, and replays through sequence number and unique values generation. Encryption of data is also possible through a key distribution algorithm.
