Man-in-the-Middle Attacks in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs): Analysis and Evaluation

Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) are being used more and in a variety of fields, including the environment, energy efficiency, smart transportation, intelligent agriculture, Internet Things (IoT) ecosystems. They also anticipated to play an increasingly significant role future due strong evolution wireless technology recent years. Nevertheless, this inter-node communication is vulnerable various security attacks such as Man–In-The-Middle (MITM) attacks, which considered be main challenge MANETs. This happens when harmful node intercepts data shared by legal nodes. Therefore, goal work investigate impact attackers’ strategies execute MITM assaults MANETs, message-delayed message-dropped assaults. The output shows that these have severe on entities MANETs network experiences high number compromised messages well E2ED PLD. Finally, using symmetry or asymmetry cryptographies, our proposal will avoid intercept between
