Abstract: A detailed survey upon the different approaches used to design the data plane security solutions of a Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) is presented in this study. To ensure reliable data transmission from a sender node to a reciever node in a MANET, cooperation of each of the intermediate nodes forming the path towards packet forwarding is mandatory, since, it is multi-hop communication. The approaches employed for reliable data delivery will either perform node stimulation towards cooperation through rewards or perform enforcement through a punishment strategy. Specific research carried out in each category are discussed along with the advantages and disadvantages of each approach which facilitate in forming the design considerations of a data plane security solution.
