@article {Amraoui2016, title = {Security-Based Mechanism for Proactive Routing Schema Using Game Theory Model}, journal = {Mobile Information Systems}, volume = {2016}, year = {2016}, note = {cited By 0}, abstract = {Game theory may offer a useful mechanism to address many problems in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs). One of the key concepts in the research field of such networks with Optimized Link State Routing Protocol (OLSR) is the security problem. Relying on applying game theory to study this problem, we consider two strategies during this suggested model: cooperate and not-cooperate. However, in such networks, it is not easy to identify different actions of players. In this paper, we have essentially been inspired from recent advances provided in game theory to propose a new model for security in MANETs. Our proposal presents a powerful tool with a large number of players where interactions are played multiple times. Moreover, each node keeps a cooperation rate (CR) record of other nodes to cope with the behaviors and mitigate aggregate effect of other malicious devices. Additionally, our suggested security mechanism does not only take into consideration security requirements, but also take into account system resources and network performances. The simulation results using Network Simulator 3 are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposal. {\textcopyright} 2016 Hicham Amraoui et al.}, doi = {10.1155/2016/5653010}, url = {https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85008883716\&doi=10.1155\%2f2016\%2f5653010\&partnerID=40\&md5=5aaffd8b2d52f8958a3f2543444109fe}, author = {Amraoui, H.a and Habbani, A.a b and Hajami, A.c and Bilal, E.d} } @conference {Amraoui2014326, title = {CCS: A Correct Cooperation Strategy based on game theory for MANETS}, booktitle = {Proceedings of IEEE/ACS International Conference on Computer Systems and Applications, AICCSA}, volume = {2014}, year = {2014}, note = {cited By 1}, pages = {326-332}, abstract = {Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) is a multihop wireless communication network supporting mobile users (nodes) without any existing infrastructure and depend of the individual behavior of the nodes. This nature of MANETs imposes the cooperation among nodes to improve quality of service and security especially that mobility and energy are the most important criteria in MANETs. In such networks, devices can have different configurations, and should cooperate to ensure the existence of such networks. Cooperation enforcement mechanism do not provide strong authentication of entities. However, cooperation may be more difficult to apply in MANETS than infrastructure based networks due to many reasons already mentioned. In this paper we{\textquoteright}ll present a correct strategy based on cooperation rate (CR) to enforce cooperation and communication between nodes in MANET using OLSR routing protocol. The concept of this strategy based on game theory is focused on track keeps by each nodes and calculate the CR of other nodes. The CR is calculated based on various types of OLSR messages (HELLO, TC, MID and HNA) sent among nodes, and also based on different network processing (forwarding and routing). {\textcopyright} 2014 IEEE.}, doi = {10.1109/AICCSA.2014.7073216}, url = {https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84988269680\&doi=10.1109\%2fAICCSA.2014.7073216\&partnerID=40\&md5=bc6ef75e71388636784417f4f74c2910}, author = {Amraoui, H.a and Habbani, A.a b and Hajami, A.c} }
