Mobile ad hoc network is a self-organizing wireless network, which is formed by the wireless mobile devices without any centralized infrastructure. The mobile nodes in the network are mainly affected by the inherent characteristics such as unpredictable network topology and open wireless medium. Especially, the presence of selfish nodes in the network creates the packet loss and affects an entire communication system. In this paper, the hash function with position updating algorithm is proposed in the Ad hoc On-Demand Distance Vector (AODV) routing protocol for improving the security against the selfish nodes. The AODV routing protocol is used to transmit the data packets from the source to the destination. Therefore, the Prevention of Selfish Node using Hash Function (PSNHF) with position update algorithm is proposed for minimizing the packet loss through the network. The performances of proposed AODV-PSNHF method are analysed in terms of energy consumption, throughput, Packet Delivery Ratio (PDR), packet loss and normalized routing load. In addition, the AODV-PSNHF method is compared with the existing trust-aware ad-hoc routing protocol (T2AR). The selfish node identification using hash function and positioning update using AODV-PSNHF method provides reliable and secure data transmission under selfish nodes and shows better performance in terms of throughput, packet delivery ratio and packet loss. For 2% of malicious nodes the PDR of the AODV-PSNHF method is 89%, it is 9% higher when compared to the T2AR protocol whose PDR% is only 80% for the same.
