Security assessment of routing protocols in Mobile Adhoc Networks

Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANet) is a set of wireless mobile nodes forming flexible networks, thus they do not need infrastructure and central access points. With increase in the use of Mobile Adhoc Networks security became an essential requirement due to its dynamic topology, limited processing capacity, bandwidth limitations, high bit error rate etc. To provide secured communication among mobile nodes, there is a need to build multi fence security and routing solutions to overcome these challenges. In this paper, we present security analysis of routing protocol in general and Adhoc On demand Distance Vector in particular under different type of attacks.
