This document discusses security issues in ad-hoc networks. It begins by outlining some key problems in ad-hoc network routing including lack of infrastructure, dynamic topology changes, wireless communication vulnerabilities, and implicit trust between nodes. It then analyzes specific attacks like modifying routing protocol messages. Several solutions are proposed, including concealing network topology using security agents or zone routing, and using watchdog and pathrater mechanisms to identify and isolate misbehaving nodes to improve throughput. The watchdog detects nodes that fail to forward packets by listening to transmissions, while pathrater avoids routing through misbehaving nodes to choose more reliable paths.
