Security assessment of AODV protocol under Wormhole and DOS attacks

A MANet a is set of wireless mobile nodes that share a common wireless channel without any centralized unit. In recent years many routing protocols have been proposed for application of MANets in government, commercial and military area. MANets have some qualities such as dynamic nature, decentralized support and infrastructure-less which make it extremely prone to attacks. Security becomes a major issue in the design of routing protocols in MANets. In this paper, we present security analysis of routing protocol in general and Ad-hoc On demand Distance Vector in particular under different type of attacks.
