Challenges in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks: Security Threats and its Solutions

Miss Dhara N. Darji, Nita B. Thakkar

Abstract :

A Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) is a self–organizing, infrastructureless, multi –hop network. The wireless and distributed nature of MANETs poses a great challenge to system security designers. A number of challenges like open peer–to–peer network architecture, stringent resource constraints, shared wireless medium, dynamic network topology etc. are posed in MANET. As MANET is quickly spreading for, security challenges have become a primary concern to provide secure communication. In this paper, we are trying to analyze and study the MANET characteristics, challenges and also identify the existent security threats an ad hoc network faces, the security services required to be achieved and the countermeasures for attacks in each layer.
