A system level security for Mobile Ad hoc Networks

Abstract

Translate Article

Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs) always bring challenges to the designers in terms of its security deployment due to its dynamic and infrastructure less nature. In the past few years different researchers have proposed different solutions for providing security to MANETs. In most of the cases however, the solution is targeting a particular attack or multiple attacks but fails to find the root cause of it. In this paper we use system level security for deploying the overall security in MANETs. The system level security is the security at node level as we believe that if nodes behave properly and in a coordinated fashion, the insecurity level will go drastically down. Our simulation results gives the advantage of using this approach
