1) The document discusses probabilistic random range technique for securing text over mobile ad hoc networks. It aims to increase security and reduce encryption/decryption time compared to selective encryption approaches.
2) Mobile ad hoc networks are infrastructure-less, self-configuring networks that allow for wireless transmission between devices. Various encryption techniques are used to secure data transmission but consume energy and time.
3) The proposed technique generates uncertainty by randomly deciding the encryption ratio, making the encryption pattern unpredictable and enhancing security during transmission. This improves on selective encryption, which only encrypts portions of messages and is not fully secure.
