Energy efficient and QOS awaretrustworthy routing protocol for manet using hybrid optimization algorithms.

The security challenges in MANETs are particularly difficult to address. Toassess the reliability of each mobile node, factors such as location, mobilityspeed, energy usage, transmission count, and neighbor list are considered. Thisresearch proposes the Intelligent Dynamic Trust (IDT) paradigm to enhancesecurity in wireless networks. For secure routing, IDT combines beta reputationtrust with dynamic trust. Performance analysis was conducted using NetworkSimulator 3.36, with metrics such as throughput, energy consumption, packetdelivery ratio, jitter, end-to-end delay, packet loss rate, detection rate, androuting overhead. The results show that the proposed approach outperformsexisting methods.
