On-Demand Routing and Security in Mobile Ad-hoc Networks

Secure routing in Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs) has emerged as an important MANET research area. Existing works in MANET focused mainly on the problem of providing efficient mechanisms for finding paths in very dynamic networks, without considering the security of the routing process. This work proposes a secure routing protocol after an in-depth evaluation and performance analysis of MANET protocols, and security.
