Misbehaving nodes detection through opinion based trust evaluation model in MANETs
Poonam, K. Garg, Manoj Kumar Misra · 2011
Routing protocols are the binding force in mobile ad hoc network (MANETs) since they facilitate communication beyond the wireless transmission range of the nodes. However, the infrastructure-less, pervasive, and distributed nature of MANETs renders them vulnerable to security threats. In this paper, we propose a novel opinion based trust-aware routing protocol (OBTRP) for MANETs to protect forwarded packets from intermediary malicious nodes.
