Security Assessment of SAODV Protocols in Mobile Ad hoc Networks

Abstract

The basic requirement in mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is to achieve Secure routing. Dynamic characteristics of MANET offers many challenges to achieve security parameters such as availability, integrity, confidentiality authentication, and non-repudiation. To hinder the normal routing operation malicious nodes make use of the vulnerable routing protocols. The real challenge to achieve secure routing as secure versions of the routing protocols is also vulnerable for routing attack. In this paper, We assess and compare the security of Ad hoc On demand Distance Vector routing protocol and Secure Ad hoc On demand Distance Vector routing protocol under different types of routing attack like blackhole and Replay attack.
