| Article Name : | | | A SURVEY OF SECURITY APPROACHES FOR WIRELESS ADHOC NETWORKS | | Author Name : | | | SAAD MASOOD BUTT | | Publisher : | | | Ashok Yakkaldevi | | Article Series No. : | | | GRT-2184 | | Article URL : | |  | Author Profile View PDF In browser | | Abstract : | | | As the popularity of mobile devices and wireless networks significantly increased over the past years. The wireless adhoc network has now become one of the most vibrant and active fields of communication and networking research. These networks are a new generation of networks offering unrestricted mobility without any underlying infrastructure. As their principle application is in disastrous environments, security is critical. Various challenges are faced in the adhoc environment, mostly due to the resource poorness of these networks. One man confront in the design of these networks is their vulnerability to security attacks. The solutions for conventional networks are usually not sufficient to provide efficient adhoc operations. Just because of its wireless nature of communication and lack of any security infrastructure raise several security problems and threats. In this paper, we briefly review the threats an adhoc network faces and the security goals to be achieved. Moreover, it also presents existing security schemes used in wireless adhoc networks in order to handle security threats. | | Keywords : | | |
