Abstract
Security is a fundamental and important service for wired and wireless network communications. The effective operation of mobile ad hoc networks (MANET) strongly relies on wireless node’s confidence in its security and cooperation among themselves. In any case, the characteristic attributes of MANET, such as, open and shared communication medium, absence of fixed central infrastructure etc, offers more noteworthy difficulties and openings in accomplishing security objectives. In MANET, the security goals comprises of confidentiality, authentication, integrity, availability, access control, and non-repudiation. MANET should guarantee each of the security goals in order to provide a higher degree of performance. A brief survey on security attacks and countermeasures for individual layers on a protocol stack in a MANET is presented this paper. The countermeasures are approaches or functions that are intended to reduce or eliminate security vulnerabilities and attacks. Initially, a brief prologue to MANETs, and security needs and mechanisms are presented. Then a brief survey on different attacks and the preventive approaches as per the protocol stack is presented.
