Security Measures in Aodv for Ad Hoc Network
Nidhi Gour, Monika Agarwal, Heena Singh, Ajay Kumar · IOSR Journal of Computer Engineering · 2014
Mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is an autonomous system of mobile nodes connected by wireless links.Each node operates not only as an end system, but also as a router to forward packets.The nodes are free to move about and organize themselves into a network.In either case, the proliferation of MANET-based applications depends on a multitude of factors, with trustworthiness being one of the primary challenges to be met.Despite the existence of well-known security mechanisms, additional vulnerabilities and features pertinent to this new networking paradigm might render such traditional solutions inapplicable.In particular, the absence of a central authorization facility in an open and distributed communication environment is a major challenge, especially due to the need for cooperative network operation.In this paper We detail solution against security threat as impersonation specifically in AODV routing protocol that are widely used in MANET.Through this proposal we can identify such kind of threat in decentralized network.
