Background: MANET is a self-organized wireless network with no infrastructure. Especially data transfer from one system to another system needs to be done in a secure way. In order to provide data integrity, authentication plays an important role in data communication. RSA and ECC are widely used algorithms in the real world, but authentication using these algorithms is time-consuming. Towards this, various algorithms came into existence with different security primitives. However, it is important to design an effective key agreement process with reduced computational cost among these security mechanisms. We have designed an effective mechanism to mitigate packet dropping attacks to secure end-to-end communication in MANET. Objective: The proposed light weight authentication method is based on chaotic maps that uses Chebyshev polynomials as primitive operation. Methods: The methodology includes semi group property of Chebyshev polynomials and also the discrete logarithmic problem based chaotic maps that takes less time than these existing algorithms and evaluates with respect to attack Resilience, packet deliverya fraction, delay, throughput, and overhead. Results: Simulation produces the result of the proposed mechanism and give better performance in terms of packet delivery ratio, overhead and computational cost. Conclusion: Authentication based on developed mechanism consumes less time as shown in statistical analysis and mitigates packet dropping attacks effectively

Besides causing awful fatalities resulting in deaths and significant resources like many acres of timberland and dwelling places, forest fires are a significant threat to sound enormous wilderness biologically and environmentally. Consistently, a considerable number of fires around the globe reason debacles to different habitats and layouts. The stated matter has been the investigation premium for a significant length of time; there is a considerable amount of good concentrated on arrangements available for testing or perhaps ready to be utilized to determine this disadvantage. Woods and actual flames have been severe issues for quite some time. Presently, there is a wide range of answers for distinguishing woods fires. Individuals are utilizing sensors to determine the fire. However, this case isn't workable for vast sections of land woods. This paper discusses another fire-recognition methodology with incremental advancements. Specifically, we put forward a stage-Artificial Intelligence. The PC innovation strategies for acknowledgment and whereabouts of smog and fires, in light of the inert photographs or the graphics captured by the cameras. AI for tracing down the fires. The accuracy relies on the calculations that use dataset values later divided in various test and train sets, respectively.
