Mobile Ad-Hoc Network (MANET) is a kind of Ad Hoc network with mobile, wireless nodes. Because of its special characteristics like dynamic topology, hop-by-hop communications and easy and quick setup, MANET faced lots of challenges such as routing, security and clustering. The security challenges arise due to MANET's self configuring and self-maintenance capabilities, due to the absence of any fixed infrastructure.

This paper attempts to analyze threats in MANET and suggests few security mechanisms. The paper also highlights the existing routing protocols and suggest a broad and comprehensive framework towards a future solution.
