STABA: Secure Trust Based Approach for Black-Hole Attack Detection

Abstract

The rapid advancement of mobile computing and wireless networking technology has resulted in a massive increase in the number of mobile users around the world. This reality is at the heart of modern mobile ad-hoc network deployments and the delivery of reliable communication services to users. Owing to a lack of resources and a complex network topology, providing dependable service is difficult. Trust protocols for mobile ad hoc network have developed as an active research topic in modern years due to the development of trust protocols to enable mobile community-based applications. Since there is no central coordination and the wireless medium is shared, reliable communications in ad hoc wireless networks is much more complicated than in wired networks. The intend of Quality-of-Service provisioning is to accomplish more deterministic network operations, allowing for more effective distribution of network information and better use of network resources. In this paper, we use the weighted method to suggest a composite trust-based approach. The packet delivery ratio, buffer length and energy utilization rate must be considered when calculating the weighted trust. In this case, the computed weight serves as the system’s positive trust, while the negative trust is also computed. MANET has established a defense against black-hole attacks using both trusts. The provided technique’s experimental results demonstrate safe data communication and optimized efficiency of the network.
