The secrecy throughput of mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) with malicious nodes is investigated. The MANET consists of n legitimate mobile nodes and m malicious nodes. Transmissions between legitimate nodes are subject to a delay constraint D . A model under passive attack is first studied, in which...
