Detection and elimination of the topological threats in mobile ad hoc network: A new approach

A mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is basically a dynamic wireless network in which each individual node acts as a router. Since MANET is infrastructure-less and has no clear line of defense, it is accessible to both legitimate network users and malicious attackers. Hence, to prevent the network from various attacks, scheming of a robust security design is mandatory. Various approaches have been proposed with different cryptographic solutions to countermeasure the attacks against MANET but most of them have focused on specific security threats. In our approach we mainly emphasize on the topology orientation and energy efficiency of nodes in the ad hoc network.
