Abstract

Mobile ad hoc network (MANETs) are the mobile nodes which are self configured and don’t have any fixed infrastructure or pattern of deployment. They don’t have any base station or central access point and this is the key feature of MANETs. They work automatically as per the defined routing protocol. The nodes which are in the range of each other communicate directly but the nodes which are not in the range of each other communicate hop by hop. Security in MANETs is the biggest issue. In this paper various issues in MANETs and some security solutions have been discussed.

Keywords
