Security for Multihop Wireless Networks

---

Since their introduction, the wireless local area networks (LANs) have attracted the interest of professionals, faced with the needs of mobility and network connectivity to their organization. 802.11 networks, standardized by the IEEE in 1997 [1] has rapidly become until, in some cases, replace traditional wired networks like Ethernet. Since their arrival on the market, the steady evolution of their performance and lower their cost of acquisition helped accelerate their dissemination.
The IEEE 802.11 provides two modes: infrastructure mode and ad hoc mode. Infrastructure mode, also called cellular mode, uses a topology built around fixed access points. The latter is responsible for managing exchanges between mobile nodes located in their area transceiver. Multiple access points can be interconnected by a backbone network, called the distribution system to provide connections to a larger number of nodes or increase the space of node mobility. Ad hoc mode, it establishes an exchange point to point between two mobile nodes. If two nodes do not share the same areas transceiver, a direct connection is impossible. In this case, the intermediate nodes are used to establish a path between the source and destination nodes. These networks, whose architecture evolves according to the movement and appearance of nodes, are called Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) or spontaneous networks.
