Aco Based Mobile Agent for Secured Key Management in Manet

Nowadays, Wireless network becomes unavoidable resource in the modern world. Security of wireless network becomes very important critical research issue in this decade. This paper focused on various kinds of attacks and proposed methodology for authentication. Attacks which may be passive attacks or active attacks will collapse the entire operation of the whole network. The attacks on wireless network are much complicated than traditional wired network. Hence, designing a secured authentication attracts many researchers. In this paper, an ant colony optimization is proposed for mobile agent and which is used for secure group management. The ant colony optimization is a swarm intelligence based real time routing protocol which offers highly reliable and optimal routing for both single path and multi path routing. Hence, securing ant colony optimization for wireless network will lead to appreciable result. Keyword: mobile agent, authentication, wireless network, handshake.
