Mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is a collection of mobile nodes, which forms a temporary network without the aid of centralized administration. To create and maintain communication between nodes, the nodes dynamically establish paths among one another. The nature and structure of such networks makes it attractive to various types of attackers. Security in ad-hoc network is an essential component for basic network functions like packet forwarding and routing. These network operations become vulnerable if counter measures are not embedded into basic network functions at the early stages of their design. Many conventional security solutions used for wired networks are ineffective and inefficient for the highly dynamic and resource-constrained environments where the use of ad-hoc might be expected. In this paper, we propose a game theory approach that enhances the routing and security in MANET. Keywords: MANET, game, ad hoc, security, Bayesian, payoffCite this Article Edwin Lawrence E, Latha R.
