A self-contained connection of wireless links that functions without any infrastructure is known as Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET). A MANET's nodes could engage actively and dynamically with one another. However, MAN-ETs, from the other side, are exposed to severe potential threats that are difficult to counter with present security methods. As a result, several safe communication protocols designed to enhance the secure interaction among MANET nodes. In this research, we offer a reputed optimal routing value among network nodes, secure computations, and misbehavior detection predicated on node's trust levels with a Hybrid Trust based Reputation Mechanism (HTRM). In addition, the study designs a robust Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) system using the suggested trust evaluation method in terms of "key" generation, which is a crucial component of a PKI cryptosystem. We also concentrate on the solid node authenticating process that relies on pre-authentication. To ensure edge-to-edge security, we assess safe, trustworthy routes to secure computations and authenticate mobile nodes, incorporating uncertainty into the trust management solution. When compared to other protocols, our recommended approach performs better. Finally, we use simulations data and performance evaluation metrics to verify our suggested approach's validity Our approach outperformed the competing systems in terms of overall end-to-end delay, packet delivery ratio, performance, power consumption, and key-computing time by 3.47%, 3.152%, 2.169%, and 3.527%, 3.762%, significantly.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
