A Survey on Recent Secure Routing Techniques in Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks

Abstract

In the current scenario, wireless technologies have attained massive popularity. This wireless technology is used in many applications. In wireless technology, Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANETs) are a part and it doesn’t require any pre-established infrastructure. The dynamic character of those networks makes them more functional and it is suitable for many applications. MANET has high mobility and doesn’t rely on centralized authority. This nature of MANET is more vulnerable to many security attacks and threats. When comparing to the traditional networks, ad-hoc networks are having higher chances for many routing attacks. Securing MANET is a challenging issue, which need more analysis. In past few years, numerous researchers proposed different solutions for detecting the routing attacks in MANET. In this survey, recent approaches and techniques done for MANET routing attacks is discussed. The review thoroughly presents the problems and merits of those existing approaches.
