Security boundaries of mobile adhoc network: A systematic literature review and future aspects.

Technological advancement makes human life more manageable in different aspects, and several variants are available to provide the same. Wireless communication helps to transfer information or data from one place to another without any physical connection between devices. The application includes mobile communication, remote access, satellite transmission, vehicle communication, broadcasting, etc. There are two categories of wireless communication: infrastructure-less networks and infrastructure networks. Any network where nodes connect without the need of infrastructure is called a mobile ad hoc network. Because of features like changeable topology, rapid setup, multi-hop data transmission, and others, MANETs have become more and more common. Due to their distinctive features, MANETs are ideally suited to several real-time applications, such as calamity control, environmental monitoring, and military activities. To assist in actualizing the vision of Industry 4.0, MANETs may also be employed with innovative technologies including cloud computing, machine learning, and the Internet of Things, etc. Any MANET-based critical real-time applications require reliable and secure data delivery. Hence, this study explores several security approaches that advance safe transmission while enhancing MANET performance. The findings of this article indicate that while significant progress has been made in terms of security of MANETs, there are still many challenges that need to be addressed. Overall, this survey paper provides a thorough rundown of security boundaries of MANETs, highlighting both the progress made and the areas that require further attention. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
