Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks (MANETs) are characterized by their dynamic topologies and lack of centralized control, making them highly susceptible to security threats. In order to improve the security of the network, this paper presents a Novel Cryptographic-Based Session Key Generation Algorithm Framework (NCBSKGAF). This framework has two phases; the first phase is designed as an Elliptic Curve Cryptography-Based Session Key Protocol (ECCBSKP), and the second phase represents Node Reputation Value Based Malicious Node Analysis (NRVBMNA). This framework also incorporates a mutual authentication mechanism to prevent unauthorized access and mitigate common attacks such as man-in-the-middle and replay attacks. The Elliptic Curve Cryptography-Based Session Key Protocol (ECCBSKP) model produces the session keys, which are sent to the recipient node and encrypted in a data packet. The session key ensures that transmission is performed within a particular time and attains secure data transmission. The Node Reputation Value Based Malicious Node Analysis (NRVBMNA) and Shortest Path Identification methods are proposed to identify the suspicious nodes and select the optimum route for data communication. The simulation results show that the suggested framework provides the maximum efficiency in all simulation conditions; the proposed NCBSKGAF provides 95% security accuracy compared to recent algorithms.
