        abstract = {Attacks on ad hoc wireless networks can be classified into two broad categories, namely, passive and active attacks. A passive attack does not disrupt the operation of the  network;  the  adversary  snoops the data exchanged in the network without  altering  it.  Here,  the  requirement  of confidentiality  can be violated if an adversary is  also  able  to  interpret  the  data gathered  through snooping. Detection of passive attacks is very difficult since the operation of the network itself does not get affected. One way of overcoming  such problems  is  to use powerful encryption mechanisms to  encrypt  the  data  being  transmitted, thereby making it impossible for eavesdroppers to obtain any useful  information from the data overheard.},
