A Survey on Attacks and Countermeasures in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks
Overview
Security is an essential service for wired and wireless network communications. The success of Mobile Ad hoc NETworks (MANET) strongly depends on people's confidence in its security. However, the characteristics of MANET pose both challenges and opportunities in achieving security goals, such as confidentiality, authentication, integrity, availability, access control, and non-repudiation. This paper provides a survey on attacks and countermeasures in MANET. The countermeasures are features or functions that reduce or eliminate security vulnerabilities and attacks. First, the paper gives an overview of attacks according to the protocols stacks, and to security attributes and mechanisms, and then the paper presents preventive approaches following the order of the layered protocol stacks.
