A Review: An Efficient and Reliable Secure Routing Mechanism with the Prevention of Attacks in Mobile Ad-Hoc Network (MANET)

In wireless communication systems, Wireless ad hoc network plays a significant role in the research domain. MANET is also an ad hoc network that build a temporary network to transmit data around the network utilizing multi-hop routers. MANET is utilized in various regions of life such as real-time information, network portioning, rescue operation, interpersonal communication, and information sharing. To deliver data accurately and quickly, MANET has changed its topology and nodes dynamically. Because of the mobility nature of nodes, the chances of routing design problem are maximum among the nodes. In this review, other categories of Routing Protocols (RPs) such as Geographical Multicast Routing Protocols (Geocast RPs), Power-Aware Routing Protocols, Multipath Routing Protocols, Hierarchical Routing Protocols, Multicast Routing Protocols and Location-Aware Routing Protocols are discussed and compared its attribute on various parameters. Also, the MANET networks are vulnerable to attacks at different tiers. Moreover, secure routing is a significant concern in MANET. Therefore, this review discusses various attacks and solutions for resisting attacks in MANET environment. It protects the network from both active and passive attacks. Attackers can dominate the scattered MANET and wireless design to minimize its potentials.
