MANETs are fast emerging as alternate network architecture to infrastructure networks. It is finding many applications and the constraints of processing power, memory, and bandwidth will be soon being overcome with the rapid improvement in the technologies. However the major concern which will remain is the security of the network. MANETs differ largely in the routing mechanism in the network l...

A Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET) is a dynamic wireless network that can be formulated without the need for any pre-existing infrastructure in which each node can act as a router. One of the main challenges of MANET is the design of robust routing protocol that adapt to the frequent and randomly changing network topology. Several attacks are possible in the available routing protocols such as Wor...

Mobile Ad-Hoc Network (MANET) is a type of temporary wireless network, in which the nodes are mobile and have dynamic network topology. Communication among nodes in these networks is accomplished via different routing protocols. But these protocols have different security flaws and using these flaws, an attacker can launch many attacks. Wormhole attack is one of the serious attacks in the conte...

Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANET) are decentralized wireless networks that communicate without pre-existing infrastructure. MANETs vulnerable to the most popular types of attacks and threats, such as wormhole attacks. A is very challenging issues records packets from one location network tunnels them another undermines performance disrupt routing protocol. However, existing solutions have been dev...

A Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) is a collection of wireless mobile nodes dynamically forming a temporary network without the use of any existing network infrastructure or centralized administration. There are a number of routing protocols developed by researchers. Due to the nature of ad hoc networks, secure routing is an important area of research in developing secure routing protocols. Althou...

MANET, due to the nature of wireless transmission, has more security issues compared to wired environments. A specific type of attack, the Wormhole attack does not require exploiting any nodes in the network and can interfere with the route establishment process. Instead of detecting wormholes from the role of administrators as in previous methods, we implement a new protocol, MHA, using a hop-...
