SAODV and modified SAODV performance comparison

Routing plays a vital role in ad hoc networks and Ad hoc On-demand Distance Vector (AODV) protocol is considered one of the most famous routing protocols in ad hoc networks. Unfortunately it doesn't specify security measures. This has motivated the researchers to design secured version of AODV. However Security always collides with performance. The higher the security level is, the lower the performance level. This paper presents a performance comparison between Secure AODV (SAODV) and Modified SAODV (MSAODV).
