Security in adhoc networks

The following are the security threat in adhoc network.
1. Limited computational capabilities : the nodes in the mobile adhoc network are modular, independent and will have limited computational capability. It becomes a source of vulnerability when they handle public key cryptography.
2. Limited power supply : since nodes have limited power supply attacker can exhaust batteries by giving excessive computations to be carried out.

3. Challenging key management : the key management becomes extremely difficult as the mobile devices will be under movement.
