Designing an Enhanced Selective Encryption Method for Securing Mobile Ad Hoc Network

Abstract

As the globular progression is taking place, a hub for wireless network is broadening swiftly. Exploitation of Mobile Ad hoc Network is no exception to that. Effortlessness to use, enclosing extensive applications and independence from fixed infrastructure makes Mobile Ad hoc Network, one of the most alarming areas of research today. The article presents a thorough study of Mobile Ad hoc Network, which takes into account the variety of attacks. The approach also presents a concise summary of selective encryption and our proposed method, Selective Significant Data Encryption (SSDE). The technique is based on selective encryption which selects specific words to be encrypted, so that time overhead of encryption can be reduced, thereby making the encryption procedure more effective. Set of experiments are performed in ns 2.35 simulator. This manuscript offers the methodology for the future enhancement for Securing MANET.
