MANET is a type of wireless network without a fixed topology and consists of set of self-organized nodes. The nodes are randomly, frequently and unpredictably mobile. The inherent features make them an ideal choice in military and civilian communication applications. Major performance constraint of these types of networks comes from security attacks due to the dynamic topology and lack of centralized monitoring authority. Both passive and active attacks adversely affect the normal functionality of the network. Passive attackers monitor the network traffic and nodes in the networks. Active attacks like Blackhole attackers can drop packets partially or completely from the network. Secure routing protocol can conceal the identities and locations of route, source and destination to provide security and privacy from intruder's attacks. So in this paper, a route selection method is introduced for MANET which improves the security features for source, destination and route against passive attacks and specified active attacks. The developed method dynamically partitions the entire communication area in to different zones and randomly chooses a position from the divided zones as the temporary destination. The node which is very close to the position is selected as the random forwarder node and data is transmitted through random forwarder node using GPSR. The proposed method provide both identity and location anonymity to nodes. Methods are also proposed for avoiding the timing attacks. Position of active attacker like Blackhole attackers in the route are obtained and eliminated by using Homomorphic Message Authentication method.

Abstract-The wireless mobile nodes are capable to build spontaneously temporary wireless network in absence of infrastructure like AP, Router etc. and they act as a wireless router. Due to this, wireless mobile nodes are capable for forwarding messages to other nodes. MANET (Mobile Adhoc Network) is a one of the wireless network and forms a temporary connection across the mobile nodes without central infrastructure to exchange the information. Due to the characteristics of MANET, it is vulnerable to active and passive attacks from internal and external attacker. This will lead to various security challenges. There is a requirement to secure the MANET from threats and vulnerability. Many security mechanisms are established to secure and protect the MANET. This article is intended to provide contemporary MANET security with perspective of routing protocol security and data security with key management, and monitoring the MANET during routing and/or data transmission using IDS (Intrusion Detection System). This article presents the various attacks face by MANET and its security goals. The article explored various security solutions for routing protocols, data security using cryptography as a first line of defence, key management for securing communication. . MANET is a self-organized and less infrastructure temporary wireless network where the contents are transferred from node to node. In this environment, all nodes are equally works as a router. The MANET's characteristics are wireless link as a shared medium, dynamic topology, node mobility, limited energy, limited resources, distributed operations, fewer infrastructures, self organized, all nodes are not trusted, multipath route etc. MANET has unique challenges due to its characteristics. Hence, MANET is vulnerable toward a great variety of attacks [4] due to its challenges. However, MANET is flexible, scalable, relatively cheap and easily deployable at any place and time because of its characteristics. On the other side, the MANET is vulnerable to availability, integrity, privacy, indeed, eavesdropping and interception. It is also vulnerable to node suppression, node replication and node impersonation due to self organized topology. Secure routing, security of content transfer, quality of service (QoS) and service discovery are the main security goals in adhoc networking [3].MANET can be used in tactical networks like military communication and operations, emergency services like disaster recovery and rescue operation, commercial sector like networks of visitors at airports and PAN (Personal Area Network), enterprise networking like networks at construction sites, education network like virtual classrooms, entertainment network like multi user games, sensor network like animal movement, context aware services and coverage extension like linking up with the Internet, intranets etc.In this paper, we focus on contemporary MANET security. This paper is organized as follows. Section 2 describes the MANET attacks and security goal. Section 3 describes the approaches...

An innominate communication method in MANETS is categorized into proactive method, re-active method and anonymous routing method. Re-active routing is further divided into two methods, which includes superfluous traffic and routing hop-by-hop encryption. Whereas MANETs has various choices in respect to anonymous routing protocols, to provide location innominate safety to information, source node and destination node. However, a previous innominate routing protocol fully depends on station by station encryption or superfluous traffic which generates a heavy cost and offer low anonymity protection. Hence to offer a very high innominate protection, S-ALERT is pro-posed. Basic idea behind S-ALERT is to divide the whole network into number of nodes and then allocate each node a unique Id, so that we can differentiate source node and destination node. Followed by dynamic partition of network into zones and then randomly choosing nodes in zones as random forwarder, which forms a non trace-able innominate route. Along with, it also hides the source/destination node among many source/destination, in order to give very high safety to source node and destination node. It is observed that S-ALERT gives better as compared to other protocols. Hence S-ALERT protocol achieves full anonymity protection and that to at very least cost.
