Such networks find application in real-life environment as communication in Battlefields and communication among rescue personnel in disaster affected areas. Recently, mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs) have gained the attention of research community due to increased adoption of its usage in real life applications. Due to fundamental characteristic of being Adhoc and insecure medium the most challenging job in MANETS is security.
