Abstract
Some major concerns in wireless networking are the safety and security of communication channels used by Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs). Despite common belief, mobility can be used in order to enhance security in mobile networks as opposed to being a detriment. We are investigating the multi-path routing algorithm as a non-cryptographic method to exchange code books on the networking layer. This algorithm will divide the book into shares and send them on different paths to the destination using a most efficient path algorithm for mobile networks. We analyze the effectiveness, efficiency, and impact on security that multi-path can bring to MANETs. By implementing our process, it will increase the difficulty of fully intercepting the code book.
