Security in mobile ad-hoc network (MANET) is the most serious issue impacting performance of network. In general,
routing methods is one of the complicated and exciting analysis places. In black hole attack, a harmful node uses its routing
technique to be able to promote itself for having the quickest direction to the place node or to the bundle it wants to identify. In
this research, performance of one of the most efficient solutions for preventing single black hole attack in MANET using AODV
routing protocol will be investigated in terms of packet delivery ratio, packet loss percentage, average end-to-end delay, and route
request overhead. This chapter describes the introduction, background of the study, research objectives and questions, the scope
of the study and its primary objectives.
