Different Types of Attacks on Integrated MANET-Internet Communication

Abstract

Security is an important issue in the integrated MANET-Internet environment because in this environment we have to consider the attacks on Internet connectivity and also on the ad hoc routing protocols. The focus of this work is on different types of attacks on integrated MANET-Internet communication. We consider most common types of attacks on mobile ad hoc networks and on access point through which MANET is connected to the Internet. Specifically, we study how different attacks affect the performance of the network and find out the security issues which have not solved until now. The results enable us to minimize the attacks on integrated MANET-Internet communication efficiently.
