Abstract

Network Coding is a potential technology for the future wireless communications and Internet of Things (IoT) as it reduces the number of transmissions and offers energy efficiency. It is vulnerable to threat and attack that can harm intermediate nodes. Indeed, it exhibits an ability to incorporate security of transmitted data, yet a lot of work needs to be done to provide a safeguard from threats. The purpose of this study is to strengthen the existing Network Coding scheme with a set of generic requirements for Network Coding Protocols by adopting system models and a Genetic Algorithm based cryptosystem. A hybrid approach is being adopted by combining a key-distribution scheme and a code encryption approach in an experimental setup which simulated it using MATLAB and KODO libraries. The proposed hybrid approach showed good results by strengthening security along with better key management while retaining the additional benefits. Further, simulations show good performance of this cryptosystem for Network Coding enabled communications. In terms of a generic frame, to the best of our knowledge, this is the first work which takes generic security requirements into consideration, combines key-distribution and Genetic Algorithm based encryption and takes a system approach. The proposed approach is named as a Genetic Crypto Outer Code Secure Network Coding (GCOCSNC).
