摘要：Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANET) consists of mobile devices that communicate with each other without any predefined infrastructure/centralized administration. In network nodes can join or leave a network freely, MANETs are vulnerable to unauthorized data manipulation as it does not verify user identity before ensuring data access. Thus it is challenging to design security mechanisms that protect MANETs from routing attacks in the presence of malicious nodes. This study proposes a trust based Adhoc On-demand Distance Vector (AODV) protocol. Experiments were conducted in two scenarios and the results proved that the new method outperformed traditional AODV.
