Abstract

Selfish and Malicious nodes (referred as misbehaving) present in the Delay Tolerant Network (DTN) results in insecure data transmission resulting in the packet loss .Currently the misbehaving nodes are identified only after data transmission. For this purpose Information Centric Network (ICN) is used along with DTN .ICN has a property of interactivity and it also supports mobility of nodes. Hence ICN identifies about misbehaving nodes in the path before the data transmission so that alternative path is chosen. Hence ICN avoids misbehaving nodes and the packet reaches the destination safely. This paper will be implemented in two parts. In the first part the misbehaving nodes are identified by DTN .A new load balancing concept is introduced in order to handle traffic. In the second part misbehaving nodes are intimated in advance by ICN and hence alternative path is chosen for the packets so that further transmission by misbehaving nodes is prevented.
