An Advanced Trust-Based Routing Protocol for Mobile Ad-Hoc Network under Worm-Hole Attack Using Mobility Model

Abstract

Mobile ad hoc Network (MANET) is one of the comprehended technologies in network and communication. MANET offers revelatory features that support to enhance operations. In this work for MANET’s secure routing and enhanced routing protocol is presented. The offered routing method is a trust- based routing protocol that evaluates the characteristics of middle nodes in the network. During the estimation of nodes, a weighted trust valuation for all medium routers is computed to produce a secure route establishment. To calculate weighted trust the network parameters of nodes are employed i.e. packet drop proportion, RRT and energy consumption rate. Furthermore, a trust threshold is employed for categorizing the malicious and legal nodes in a network route. Thus trust threshold is applied to produce opinions for the selecting of a secure and effective path. Ultimately, a relative study between conventional AODV and offered trust- based AODV is achieved. The developmental effects establish the offered routing is effective and secure as analogized to conventional AODV routing protocol.
