Yiping Zhong · Dianzi xuebao · 2005
AbstrcatIn resent years,mobile ad hoc networks are a new emerging field with its potential applications in extremely unpredictable and dynamic environments.However,it is particularly vulnerable due to its features of open medium,dynamic changing topology,cooperative routing algorithms.The article surveys the state of the art in security for mobile ad hoc networks.Firstly,we analyze various possible threats to security in mobile ad hoc networks.Secondly,we illustrate representative solutions to deal with those threats,including key management,intrusion detection and cooperation enforcement.We also make a comparison and discussion of their respective merits and faults,and propose some ways to fix these problems.Finally,we also present the challenges which are still worth to further research in the area.
