A Review on Security Issues and Encryption Algorithms in Mobile Ad-hoc Network

Deepti Ranaut | Madal Lal

Abstract: Now-a-days in wireless devices; Mobile Ad-hoc Network become an important part for communication for mobile devices. Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANETs) allow wireless nodes to form a network without requiring a fixed infrastructure. Due to the absence of the central infrastructure; we face many challenges or problems during sending data from one mobile node to another mobile node. In this paper; we discuss about features of MANET; their advantages and disadvantages and security issues and their solutions in the mobile ad-hoc network. Cryptography is the way of hiding information during transmission over a channel. There are lots of cryptographic algorithms available to protect our data from intruders. RSA also one of the effective public key cryptographic algorithm which needs time and memory.
