Self Recognition of Routing Misbehaviour in Disruption Tolerant Networks

A Disruption tolerant networks is a network designed temporary, have the unique features of intermittent connectivity which makes routing quite different from other wireless network. Routing misbehavior like selfish or malicious node can cause packet delay and modifying packets in a network. A node is required to keep a few signed contact record of its previous contact based on it the next node can detect a packet dropping,although here it may reduces the packet delivery ratio and waste the system resources such as power and bandwidth. To reduce this problem we propose a scheme as record handler, it is used to maintain the entire information about packet separately and to provide more security and we introduce RC4 algorithm where the message and the key can be send individual to nodes for avoiding misbehaviour on a network.
