A Survey on MANETs: Entrusted Security Challenges

Abstract

An essential and challenging part of all future network and wireless communication system is Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET)  observed in applications e.g. cloud, reconfigurable network, Internet-of-Things (IoT), inter-domain routing, healthcare, wildlife, etc. However, the security problems in MANET is yet to be controlled fully irrespective of many security ways and solution. To stand a MANET system with upcoming technologies it is required that their routing system should offer potential against all threats as well as they should also offer a further flexibility to adapt the security schemes based on changing demand of the environment, where the mobile nodes are operating. There are many security attack measures need to be rectified by communicating between the protocol layers to contribute towards security system in MANET. Therefore, this paper offers review to the current situation of security system using conventional to explore its research gap.
