Security issues in manets: A survey

Recently, the notion of security has become increasingly important to research on wireless networks, later the Internet of things (IoT) and ad hoc networks that are a part of IoT environment. The various changes in the digital environment, as it must identify the different changes in the digital environment, are namely the protection of the personal and professional data of this intelligent world. In the work already done, there are several methods and levels of security. In this study, we identify that security aggression MANETs are facing with the security services to provide in each layer. In order to reach our target, we did a literature search gathering information on different types of attacks and solutions, as well as the latest security work. Then, we discuss the proposed solutions to ensure a high level of security in networks by recalling the latest work of our team. Finally, we propose a method of security better adapted to our needs based on blockchain technology. © The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd 2021.
