This process automatically p...

Specifically, the distance vector routing (DVR) protocols compute routing tables in a distributed manner, based on this implicit trust. This trust model however fails to ensure the factual correctness of the routing updates, which is very critical for secure routing. We propose a neighbor update propagatio...
