An Intelligent Weighted Fuzzy Cluster-Based Secure Routing Algorithm for Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks

In this chapter, we propose a new secure routing protocol called intelligent weighted fuzzy cluster-based secure routing algorithm for mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs) for improving the energy utilization life time with security. Moreover, a fuzzy rule-based weighted distance-based outlier detection algorithm for distinguishing the outliers within the network will be discussed. In this proposed work, new weighted fuzzy rules have been generated and used for forming clusters and also to calculate the trust scores which are a deciding factor for finalizing the routing. Moreover, we have selected the final path based on path trust for the respective clusters in MANETs. Finally, the best trust paths have been selected that have rich energy nodes to perform secure routing. The proposed work has been implemented by using the NS2 simulator. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed secure routing algorithm provides better performance compared to the other existing algorithms.
