The goal of securing mobile ad-hoc network and solutions

Abstract

In this article we assess security threats and summarize representative proposals in the context of ad-hoc networks. In this paper, we survey the stateof- the-art approach to providing security for wireless networking paradigms, namely mobile ad-hoc networks. We identify the security threats as well as examine the current solutions. We further summarize lessons learned, discuss open issues, and identify future directions. © 2011 Springer-Verlag.
