Survey on Secure Routing Protocols for MANETs

Shwetha T R ^[2] | Dr Arun Biradar ^[2]

Abstract: Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETS) are transient networks of mobile nodes; connected through wireless links; without any fixed infrastructure or central management. Due to the self-configuring nature of these networks; the topology is highly dynamic. This makes the Ad Hoc Routing Protocols in MANETS highly vulnerable to serious security issues. In this paper; we survey the common security threats and attacks and summarize the solutions suggested in the survey to mitigate these security vulnerabilities.

Keywords: Ad-hoc network, MANET, Security attacks, Routing, Network Security Solutions
