To add some more information...

OLSRd does not even touch to unicast traffic, it just setup kernel routes for 
forwarding the traffic.

So if you want to protect the traffic of your network, OLSRd is the wrong 
place to look at.

There is the other question how to protect the mesh against INTERNAL 
attackers, but thats something completely different.
