Abstract
The Ad-hoc On-Demand Distance Vector (AODV) routing protocol, designed for unstructured or ad hoc wireless networks, is suitable for mobile links or network nodes capable of processing power and does not need to be high. However, AODV will be preserved if we pay attention to the security solutions used in the design of this protocol. This paper analyzes several vulnerabilities, especially discusses AODV attacks based on routing messages. We will demonstrate how to authenticate, ensure the integrity of routing messages, and use specification-based intrusion detection to detect attacks against the AODV protocol.
