Abstract

Security is a vital factor in the field of MANETS. Many researchers are fascinated in finding solution for security. To make it secure EAACK with watchdog mechanism is used, although these techniques avoid intrusion over the network, it also reduces the performance metrics of the network by delay in energy and packet delivery ratio. EAACK is composed of three parts namely ACK, S-ACK and MRA. Hence, we use efficient and secure cryptographic technique with the help of combining EAACK with Genetic Algorithm is used. By using this technique the performance metrics is enhanced and the network performance is achieved successfully. Here we have obtained results from NS2 simulation.
