Review on Challenges and Security Issues in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks.

Abstract

A mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is a network consisting of a collection of nodes capable of communicating with each other without the help from a network infrastructure. MANET faced lots of challenges allegorically routing, security and clustering. Security is actually an essential issue for the secured conversation in between mobile nodes in a dangerous ecosystem. Although security issues in mobile ad hoc networks have been a major focus in the recent years, the development of fully secure schemes for these networks has not been entirely achieved till now. MANET has no definite defensive structure, so that, it is easily accessible to both trustworthy networking end-users as well as destructive assailants. This paper, presents an elaborate view of issues in MANET security. Based on MANET’s special characteristics, we define three security parameters for MANET. Also in addition MANET security is divided into two different aspects and types of various attacks are also discussed in details.
