Abstract

Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) represent a class of networking that is quite essential and different from the traditional systems. Though the use of MANETs is gaining popularity in academic and commercial domains, MANETs have been initially designed to be deployed in areas such as emergency search and rescue operations, military battlefields, and other hostile or challenging environments. Because of the demanding environments that they have to operate in, MANETs do not have well-defined infrastructure unlike wired networks. All the participating nodes in a MANET work via cooperation and hence central coordination is absent. This places an inherent trust among the nodes forming the network in a MANET. Another major consideration regarding MANETs is that they have to often deal with limited resources such as power and bandwidth. These characteristic properties of MANETs make them susceptible to different kinds of attacks which aim to find vulnerabilities in the MANET protocols or target the limited resources. Hence, it becomes essential to recognize these threats and find ways to mitigate and tackle them. This paper will emphasize in understanding threats in ad hoc networks and the approaches to deal with these threats.
