The self-organizing, decentralized and infrastructure-less features of MANETs provide a promising solution for several real-world applications [1]. The nodes in a MANET function as both router and host, and communicate with other nodes which are not in its transmission range through intermediate nodes by establishing a route and then transferring the packets. Though nodes are considered to be trustworthy, however, a few nodes might be malicious and launch attacks to breach privacy [2]. Privacy requirement for MANET applications is challenging when compared to other applications because packets are transmitted over the wireless channel in multiple hops, which makes interception of the packet by attackers an easy task. Also, route maintenance due to frequent route and node failures increases the duration of data transfer, which can be utilized by attackers to launch attacks (like sender and receiver identification) by intercepting more packets. Over the past decade, many privacy protecting systems have been proposed and analyzed, which are based on pseudonyms, masking information, privacy policies, etc. [3–5]. In particular, existing works on the analysis of privacy protection system based on policies have mainly focused on determining the redundancy, incompleteness, etc. [6], and have not concentrated on the suitability of these privacy policies. This paper analyzes the privacy protection system by analyzing the performance of privacy policies and also determine the suitability of privacy policies to preserve privacy in MANETs.
