However, ad hoc networking protocols are vulnerable to a wide range of attacks. The design of defense mechanisms is a challenging problem, especially in comparison to securing traditional, fixed-infrastructure networks. In this paper, we discuss challenges and guidelines to secure ad hoc networking protocols, and describe a protocol suite for secure and fault-tolerant communication.securityad hoc networksMANETfault tolerancesecure routingsecure data communicationmultipathtext::conference output::conference proceedings::conference paper
