Abstract
Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET) is a system of wireless mobile nodes that dynamically self-organize in arbitrary and temporary network topologies without communication infrastructure. This network may
change rapidly and unpredictably. Application of ad hoc networks
includes Academic Environment Applications, Health Care Applications,
Military Applications, Bluetooth, and Personal Area Network.
A service can be any tangible or intangible thing that can be useful for
someone, a service can be a hardware service like a printer that can be
used by a mobile device to print a file. Service discovery is defined by
using one or two of Pull and Push Mechanisms
This work introduces a performance analysis of Ad-hoc Service
Discovery Protocols and proposes a Secure Service Discovery Protocol
for ad hoc networks (SPDPh). Security is a main challenge in MANETs.
Simulation results of (SPDPh) and (PDP) using simulator (Ns-2) shows
the extent of efficient secure service discovery protocol for ad hoc
networks.
The thesis comprises five chapters, these are organized as follows:
Chapter one: presents an overview of the different kinds of networks
and types of existing communication processes. It also contains the
concept of MANET and the most important characteristics and
applications and challenges.
