Enhancing secrecy using hybrid elliptic curve cryptography and Diffie Hellman key exchange approach and Young's double slit experiment optimizer based optimized cross layer in multihop wireless network

Wireless Network is usually a non-infrastructure multi-hop network, in which the communication between the nodes are carried implicitly or explicitly with the help of intermediate nodes. The two primary considerations when creating a wireless network are energy efficiency and secrecy, which are currently hot topics in study. Power-related issues make the conventional tiered approach ineffective. We suggest a novel solution to address those problems: the Young's double slit experiment optimizer (YDEO) based optimized cross layer routing protocol. This method computes parameters like data success rate, average energy loads, and traffic indices to determine consistency and energy efficacious routing paths. The secrecy of the network can be enhanced with the proposed innovative approach known as Hybrid Elliptic Curve Cryptography and Diffie Hellman Key Exchange (HECC-DH). This greatly enhances data integrity and security by offering dual authentications with key exchange techniques. In addition to this HECC-DH, bilinear maps are used for secure communication. To verify the effectiveness of the suggested work, experiments are performed with the NS2 simulator and contrasted with state-of-the-art works. When it comes to communication, our method performs better than the others and with greater satisfaction.
