SECURED AND OPTIMAL ROUTING WITH QOS IN MANETS

A MANET is a self forming wireless network of mobile devices. Generally, the behaviour of MANET and their emerging applications are highly dynamic and not depending on any existing infrastructures. Nodes in MANET are moving in nature, their nature and mobility speed influence the behaviour of the nodes as well as network. The secure routing is a major task for the transferring the packets between the number of nodes to achieve the successful and secured data transmission in MANET. Quality of Service based Trusted Routing Protocol (QoSTRP) has been introduced to provide an optimal trusted routing with security. This technique enhances the security by employing random key sharing method. This improvement is obtained only by choosing trusted nodes, constructing trusted route and trusted data packet transmission. Hence this QoSTRP is a better approach to provide a trust management based routing in MANET. The primary aim of this book is to provide the concept of QoS based secured trusted routing protocol.
