Abstract

Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANET) are self-organizing and self-configuring multi hop wireless networks capable of adaptive re-configuration network. The absence of infrastructure, limited bandwidth, dynamic nature and unpredictable link failure perturbs the efficient network services. Trust is an important aspect in the design and analysis of secure distribution systems. Hence, in this proposed study, trust based security is chosen as a security scheme to strengthen the cluster head. Therefore, a secured cluster head could be selected for each cluster, which guarantees the safe routing. Therefore, to strengthen the selected cluster head, a security measure, called trust mechanism is proposed.
