PROJECT TITLE :

Light-weight trust-based routing protocol for mobile ad hoc networks

ABSTRACT :

Mobile impromptu networks (MANETs) were originally designed for a cooperative environment. To use them in hostile environments, trust-based routing can be used, where instead of building the shortest routes as exhausted traditional routing protocols, most trusted routes are established. In this study, the authors gift a lightweight-weight trust-primarily based routing protocol. It is lightweight-weight in the sense that the intrusion detection system (IDS) used for estimating the trust that one node has for one more, consumes restricted computational resource. Moreover, it uses only native info thereby making certain scalability. Our light-weight IDS takes care of 2 types of attacks, particularly, the blackhole attack and therefore the gray hole attack. Whereas our proposed approach will be incorporated in any routing protocol, the authors have used AODV as the base routing protocol to evaluate our proposed approach and offer a performance analysis.
