Ad-hoc networks are a new paradigm in wireless communication due to its high significance in various sensitive and emergency operations. An Ad-hoc Network is a multi hop wireless network. Typically network nodes are interconnected through wireless interfaces and unlike traditional networks lack specialized nodes i.e. routers, that handle packet forwarding. Ensuring secure route doesn’t guarantee a secure path for data communication in this wireless network. Any node within the secure route might be compromised at any time and become malicious to launch attack. So security for data packet should be introduced to defend against these attacks. This part of the research proposed model to implement IP Security or IPSec to for secure data transmission after route establishment in ad-hoc network paradigm.
