Development of Secure Routing Algorithms in Computer Networks

Abstract

The paper delves into the contemporary information security challenges within computer networks. It scrutinizes the existing methods of message packet routing, identifying several drawbacks associated with them. When examining issues concerning information security, it's crucial to consider the unique characteristics of this aspect of security. Security forms an integral part of information technologies, a field evolving at an unprecedented pace. The paper addresses the challenges associated with developing secure routing algorithms within Wide Area Network (WAN) environments. The paper presents and elucidates on novel secure routing algorithms characterized by a qualitatively innovative approach to resolving security concerns. Thanks to a novel suite of essential features in each variant of the proposed method, which includes specifying information about the communication network's structure, initial data regarding network nodes and users, and calculating integrated security metrics, secure routes between network nodes are meticulously selected from all available communication pathways among users. This ensures that network users are furnished with a secure route.
The paper pertains to the realm of information communication and can serve as a valuable resource for planning or developing new network connections in networks like corporate intranets and extranets.
