Abstract
Instant deployment without relying on an existing infrastructure makes mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) an attractive choice for many dynamic situations. However, such flexibility comes with a consequence – these networks are much more vulnerable to attacks. Authentication and encryption are traditional protection mechanisms, yet they are ineffective against attacks such as selfish nodes and malicious packet dropping. Recently, reputation systems have been proposed to enforce cooperation among nodes. These systems have provided useful countermeasures and have been successful in dealing with selfish and malicious nodes. This chapter presents a survey of the major contributions in this field. We also discuss the limitations of these approaches and suggest possible solutions and future directions.
