Abstract:
A Mobile ad-hoc Network (MANET) has many interesting features but still have many
points of concerned when implementing in a real situation. Due to free form moving of network
members without a central control unit, the power consuming and the fast network topology
change are the main factors that affect the performance of data transfer in routing protocol in the
MANET. Due to the fact that, in most wireless systems, attacking from intruders can be from
everywhere and anytime makes the security issue also one of the interesting issues in a special
purpose wireless system. Therefore, assessing the performance of security protocols for using in
the special purpose wireless system in the military environment and developing the security
model of the performance are the main studies of this thesis
