SOPE: Self-organized protocol for evaluating trust in MANET using Eigen Trust Algorithm

Evaluating and quantifying Reputation stimulates collaboration in Mobile ad hoc Network (MANET). A MANET is an autonomous network that consists of mobile nodes that communicates with each other through wireless link. The absence of fixed infrastructure nodes here to cooperate in order to provide the necessary network functionality. This research is concerned with fully distributed reputation-based mechanisms that improve security in MANETS. This implements a cognitive and optimized method to calculate the Reputation of the Nodes. This project proposes the Eigen vector & Degree centrality for evaluation of the individual trust value. The design and Build NS2 over the Dynamic Source Routing(DSR) prototype, in the presence of Worm Hole Attack in highly mobile and hostile environment.
