Abstract

Mobile Ad-Hoc Network (MANET) is a wireless network without infrastructure. Self-configurability and easy deployment feature of the MANET resulted in numerous applications in this modern era. Efficient routing protocols will make MANETs reliable. The open and dynamic operational environment of MANET makes it vulnerable to various network attacks. A common type of attacks targets at the underlying routing protocols. Malicious nodes have opportunities to modify or discard routing information or advertise fake routes to attract user data to go through themselves. The aim of the research is to prevent network using secure routing protocols and to study the performance of the secure network.
