Mobile Ad-hoc Networks is a multi-hop based wireless network consists of a set of mobile nodes that can communicate each other. Mobile Adhoc Networks have several vulnerabilities to network attacks. The performance analysis of the secure and non-secure routing protocol along with the attacks in the network layer is done. The nonsecure routing protocol considered in this paper is ODMRP and the secure routing protocol is proposed by adding, additional features to the existing ODMRP. The additional feature includes the inclusion of the cryptographic method and the mobile agents. The cryptographic scheme employs PKI and the mobile agents are ANTS. The mobile agent employs ARA. A comparison is done between these protocols in terms of bandwidth, packet delivery ratio and multicast forwarding overhead and is observed that the secure protocol provides considerable enhancements. This is implemented by using ns-2 tool.
