Saloni Sharma, Anuj Kumar Gupta . A Comprehensive Review of Security Issues in Manets. International Journal of Computer Applications. 69, 21 ( May 2013), 32-37. DOI=10.5120/12097-8277
During the past few years the emergence of Mobile adhoc networks (MANETS) and its various uses in different fields of communication has been observed. It has led to an instant growth in wireless technology. Many routing protocols have been designed and implemented for proper functioning of mobile adhoc networks. The prime objective of these routing protocols is to provide a specific and much effective route in a network. AODV which is a reactive protocol for MANETs is considered as the most effective routing protocol by Internet Engineering Task force. Due to MANET's infrastructure less nature, security is a prime issue to be maintained. This paper submits the brief introduction about mobile adhoc networks, their counter attacks, different routing protocols and their consecutive security measures.
