Singh School of Engineering, SSSUTMS, Sehore ABSTRACT The characteristics of Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET) allows to call it as self- governing system of nodes in mobility and such mobile nodes are connected by wireless links. The MANET comes under class of wireless networks, particularly under infrastructure-less category. In MANET, the node acts as a termination system, also as an intermediate node and packet being forwarded by such node popularly called as router. The MANET nodes are in mobility therefore they change their locations. The node are enough capable to organize within them in turn changes happen dynamically for the current topology in which the node are. The major concern with respect to MANET nodes is, forming an optimum level and ideally an efficient route between any two parties wish to participate in exchange packets. It is the principal worry of the protocols related to the routing mechanism in MANET. Key words: authentication, security, encryption, proactive, reactive, on-demand, MANET, attacks, AODV, DSR.

INTRODUCTION We are in the era of the information storage and retrieval in the context of exchanging messages among the node in the network. The information may intended for a single node or multiple node or broadcasting. In this context, the information is distributed across the nodes in distributed environment. The information needs to be provided a security from attacks. It is to ensure authentication, confidentiality, integrity and availability. The attacks may be in different layers and are identified and studied in research. An intruder or attacker observe
