All existing MANET protocol are simply trust their neighbor and make route through them due to neighbor based routing network is disturbed by malicious node or intruder. Trust calculation is challenging task due to computation complexity constraints in MANET. In this paper we have presented variants of trust based security protocol in an on demand distance vector routing protocol and also proposed new mechanism for Network coding with RSA based Encryption and Decryption in an AODV which will improve the security level of MANET with acceptable overhead limit.. I. INTRODUCTION Ad hoc networks are becoming central research area due to decentralization, mobility of node, temporary network life and neighbor based routing. However all features of ad hoc network make security and trust problem more serious. Traditional security mechanism for providing confidentiality, authentication and availability are not efficient in ad hoc networks where network nodes have limited communication bandwidth, CPU cycles, and memory and battery capacity. Ad hoc nodes are describing by minimum trust each other. This requires an efficient protocol for finding secure end-to-end routes, free of non- trusted nodes. Most of the work on routing security focus on the efficient use of digital signature or shared secret key or public key infrastructure to authenticate and confide data and routing headers. They always tend to find shortest path between source and destination irrespective of presence of malicious nodes in between. Earlier design extension of T- AODV (trust embedded) secure routing protocol capable of withstanding with independent malicious node or multiple malicious node acting in collusion. This protocol use existence public key infrastructure for key generation (public key, private key) pair for every node to handling colluding attack using existing algorithm. Due to continuously trust calculation as well as this public key infrastructure of generating encryption and decryption can degrade the performance of protocol. To overcome this Problem, we have proposed new protocol that is Networking coding with RSA based encryption and decryption can take care of this problem. Network coding is a method of optimizing the flow of digital data in a network by transmitting digital evidence about messages. The “digital evidence” is itself, a composite of two or more messages. When the bits of digital evidence arrive at the destination, the transmitted message is deduced rather than directly reassembled. In a traditional packet- switched network, data flows is defined as discrete “pieces” from the source to destination like corpuscles in the bloodstream. At the transmitting station, the outgoing message is broken into packets ,each of which contains some of the message data intact. The packets do not necessarily all travel along the same route but they all eventually arrive at the same destination, where the receiving computer reassembles them into the original message. The main problem with this method is that when the overall network traffic volume is high, resulting in long delay. But in case of network coding, instead of directing the packets towards their final destination, coders transmit metadata in the form digital evidence about the message along multiple paths simultaneously. Metadata arriving from two or more source may be combined into single packets. In network coding, the data does not depend only on one transmitted message but also on the contents of the other messages that happen to be sharing the route at the time of transmission. For this reason, network coding is more resistant to hacking, eavesdropping and other forms of attack than traditional transmission. RSA is a public key algorithm. A message can be encrypted by either public key or private key of RSA. If a message is encrypted with the private key, then that act is called signing the message. Therefore, RSA is one of the Digital Signature algorithms. RSA was named after its three inventors: Ron Rivest, Adi Shamir, and Leonard Adleman. It has become very popular, people have a level of confidence in using it, and it is a de facto standard in much of the world. The security of it is drawn from factoring large numbers. To generate public key and private key, choose two large prime numbers p and q with equal size (equal size for maximum security), then compute: n = p * q (1.4) Then choose a random number e (as a part of public key) such that e and (p-1) (q-1) are relatively prime, this will ensure the equation below has a solution. Then, private key d can be computed by using extended Euclidean algorithm: e d ≡ 1 mod (p-1)(q-1) (1.1) So the public key is e and n, and the private key is d. Two prime numbers p and q are gone after finding d, and they should be discarded for security reason. To encrypt a message m, m should be broken up into numerical blocks mi smaller than n. With binary data, choose the largest power of 2 less than n. That is, if both p and q are 100-digit primes, then n will have just under 200 digits and each

If keys are used in this manner, the act of encrypting the message with private key d is called signing the message. RSA is used for many other Digital Rights Management (DRM) applications. The mathematical details of the algorithm used in obtaining the public and private keys are available at the RSA Web site. Briefly, the algorithm involves multiplying two large prime numbers (a prime number is a number divisible only by that number and 1) and through additional operations deriving a set of two numbers that constitutes the public key and another set that is the private key. Once the keys have been developed, the original prime numbers are no longer important and can be discarded. Both the public and the private keys are needed for encryption /decryption but only the owner of a private key ever needs to know it. Using the RSA system, the private key never needs to be sent across the network. The private key is used to decrypt text that has been encrypted with the public key. Thus, if I send you a message, I can find out your public key (but not your private key) .In addition to encrypting messages (which ensures privacy), you can authenticate yourself to me (so I know that it is really you who sent the message) by using your private key to encrypt a digital certificate. When I receive it, I can use your public key to decrypt it. The security of the RSA Algorithm is based on the belief that factoring large integers is and will continue to be computationally expensive. RSA has been in use for more than 30 years and to this day is still considered secure, provided keys of sufficient length are used. Keys created today are typically at least 2048 bits Many codes have been broken and many codes will continue to be broken. The idea that it must be safe because it’s so hard to break could fall apart tomorrow if someone figured out a way to factor large integers efficiently. However, if a way to factor large integers efficiently was found, it would be a huge milestone in Mathematics, unfolding more mysteries. Other asymmetric cryptography algorithms which are not based on the factoring problem exist. Digital signatures are a means of signing electronic documents. As the world becomes more digital and people begin to move to digital workflows, such online banking and online routing of forms, digital signatures will play a more important role. It would be inconvenient to fill out all of information online, and then one has to send a piece of paper which contains his or her signature through post office. Since people will be able to digitally sign a document, digital signatures must be secure so that people can be sure that the person who signed the document was who they said they were. To sign a document a person must have something to uniquely identify himself or herself, that is something only he or she has it and use it. Moreover, people have to be able to verify the signature which comes from the person who signed. Some public key cryptography offer that need. They have 2 keys: a private key for signing and a public key for verification in case of digital signature. Some public key algorithms have already been used in implementation of the digital signature, and one of most popular public key algorithms is RSA. It's not governed by any active patents. Anyone can use it, royalty free in any private or commercial product. RSA can do encryption, decryption, signature and signature verification -- all with the same two functions. It has been around for more than 30 years and has not been compromised. The goal of this paper is to review basic variants of Security aware AODV protocol. II. VARIANTS OF AODV PROTOCOL Collaborative trust against Colluding attack in AODVA. T-AODV (Trust Embedded) routing was designed to find secure end-to-end path free of independent malicious node but failed to handle attack by multiple malicious node acting in collusion. In this paper, Extension of T-AODV protocol is able to handle either the attack by multiple malicious node acting in collision or independent malicious node. In this algorithm, assumes the existence of public key infrastructure. In this algorithm, each node calculates trust level as well as MAC (message authentication code) and attaches it to the RREQ packet header. MAC of current node can be calculated as combining the trust level of predecessor node, IP address of current node and sign with private key to compute the MAC. Whenever any node raise doubt about other node’s trustworthiness then, that node broadcast RWARN (route warning message) including IP address of accused node as well as MAC. Receiving node of RWARN message verifies the accusation of the sender of the message then, it decrypt the MAC with public key of accused node, if decryption is done then, Check the trust level of accused node and accuser node and match them, if they match then, Accuser is malicious else accused node is malicious. If decryption is not done then accuser is malicious node. From this algorithm, we concluded that use of public key infrastructure destroying the self-organizing nature of mobile Ad hoc network and also improvement in overhead of decryption. Securing AODV using Node trust and route trustB. In this paper, trust based routing protocol gives equal attention to both node trust as well as route trust calculation to provide tight security to MANETs. T-AODV is modification of existing AODV protocol that only calculates node’s trust values but in few situations it is not sufficient to create secure route. For that we also need to focus equally on route trust calculation because after successful route establishment source node may not aware of the current route conditions [8]. AODV RREP does not contain any information by which we can detect status of route. For solving this problem, Trust based routing protocol equally focus on both node trust and route trust calculation.

Calculation of node trust is done by taking opinions of all neighbors and final trust value is placed in the trust value field of neighbor table. Every event of node having some trust value, by combining trust value of all events of node, we can assign individual weight to determine the aggregate trust level for another node. Route trust calculation process: In this process, existing routing table is modified by inserting route trust field, which is computed by every node for each route. Each route already having the entry for number of packets sent to the corresponding destination route. Route trust calculation can be done by number of packets sent by the node minus number of received by destination. If route trust value is zero, then route is secure or perfect one otherwise it indicate that originated packets cannot reach the destination due to traffic or network problem. Trust Based Security Framework for Pure AODVC. This trust based Framework find misbehaving node or malicious node in ad hoc on demand distance vector routing protocol, each node calculate trust level of its neighboring node for route selection. Each node working as monitoring node with dynamic behavior and calculate trust level of its neighboring node as it increase or decrease trust level of neighboring node depending on their behavior .Normally there will be three kind of trust level Min ,Max and Nominal. Suppose monitoring node A calculate the trust level of its neighboring node B as Monitoring node A Calculate trust level of B using Combination of two things( i)Monitoring node directly calculate trust level of B through mix Mode i.e. monitoring node Directly observe the different behavior of node B such as network and Mac layer acknowledgement, route request(RREQ),route Reply(RREP) and Error Message(ii) Monitoring node calculate trust level of B Node using opinion of the others node’s about B. Trust based Security framework also consider circumstance where Node B is not forwarding data as expected by A if its cause is low battery power and high traffic, this does not imply that b is malicious node and its trust value should not be decremented. It will be decremented only if its packets drop rate (PDR) crosses packet threshold, it is evaluated to achieve maximum efficiency. To handle impersonation attack, monitoring node will check the packets forwarded by its neighbor node for packet integrity after time (Delta t). To handle the impersonation attack, monitoring node calculate trust level by combining two type of opinion (i) Monitoring node calculate trust level of B node based on direct neighbor of monitoring node and that is 90% opinion (ii) monitoring node calculate the trust level of B node Based on indirect neighbor of monitoring node and opinion consider to be only 10 % of that node. Secure AODV by real-time Host Intrusion detectionD. Real-time host intrusion detection for ad hoc networks used to recognize flooding attacker node and take suitable action against it to minimize the effectiveness of attack and retain the network performance within accepted limit in the ad hoc flooding attack node, which has got attack violate the operation rules of RREQ packet to finish the network resource. Attacker select IP addresses, which is not exist in network, if they know the scopes of the IP addresses otherwise they select random ip addresses, if they don’t know the scope of the IP addresses. Attacker continuously creating and sending mass RREQ messages for unknown (void) IP addresses, attacker tries to send excessive RREQ without considering RREQ_RATE_LIMIT per second. Attacker will resend the RREQ packets without waiting for the RREP or round trip time, if he use out theses IP addresses. TTL of RREQ is set up to the maximum without using expanding ring search method. In the flooding attack, the whole network will be full of RREQ packets that attackers sends due to this flooding attack, communication bandwidth and resource of nodes of the network exhausted at same time. REHIDAN algorithm is to detect the flooding attack against the AODV routing protocol and isolate the attacker nodes, This algorithm use knowledge based methodology to detect network intrusions, It makes the system in such way that it detect malicious or attacker’s activity in real time rather than using statistical analysis of already captured traffic, This algorithm determine the attack, when it is in progress. Multi-agent Information Fusion Based trust in AODVE. With fast growing and due to challenging characteristics of ad hoc mobile network, security and trust is concern to network. In this paper, to collect different information regarding different behavior of node via different type of agent , which is used to monitor the behavior of node and according to it, collect trust information for that node , which assigned by system to each factor such as behavior of node ,residual energy of node and hop number .so different behavior will have different metrics so we need to unified trust routing metrics to do that we need to normalized different metrics and then multiplied by weighting factor and then they are accumulated to the unified trust routing metrics. If Routing trust evaluation values are greater, then that route has high degree trust. In this trust worthy routing framework , node which having high degree of trust can be participate in network , so by which security can enhanced. In this trust routing framework, multi-source information fusion application has been used to get multi information from node’s internal and external factors. Multi-agent system (MAS) is systems composed of multiple interacting intelligent agents, who can be used to solve the problem which cannot be solved by individual agent and it also maintain the self-organization nature of network. Four different agents such as hop number agent, node energy agent, node behavior and information fusion agent, these the entire agent used to cooperate to compute trust routing metrics values.

There are three types of messages such as Route Requests(RREQs), Route Replies(RREPs) and Route Errors(RERRs) defined by AODV. To make trust AODV routing protocol, RREP should be modified to meet the trust routing need. In addition to regular information of RREP packet, we accumulated internal factor value, which express residual energy value of the nodes in the route and accumulated external factor value, which express previous node behavior evaluation condition. Direct and indirect trust Evaluation in AODVF. In this algorithm, securing ad hoc network by using trust mechanism, in which each node has its opinion about other node’s trustworthiness, which are calculating by directly communicating with other nodes or by combining other nodes’ recommendations. This trust calculation can be divided into two categories one is direct trust and other is indirect trust. Total trust value of target node can be computed as sum of direct trust value plus indirect trust value. Based on this total trust value, other node will decide that it will communicate or not. Direct trust will have more importance from total trust than indirect trust. In direct trust calculation, suppose node X having done number of positive experience, which another node Z knows. By observing this positive experience, Z will calculating trust about node X that is direct trust calculation. In Indirect trust calculation, suppose S is source node and D is destination node, from source to destination node in between whatever node coming in route will get trustworthiness value from their neighboring node according to their interaction with their corresponding node. In this algorithm, RREQ packets contain two extra field PTL (previous node’s trust level) and CTL (cumulative trust level) in addition to regular field. In this, predecessor node checks all trust level information provided by node to ensure security. when source node need to find route to another node it broadcast RREQ packets which contains encrypted ID of source with destination’s public key and destination id which make sure that only target node can unlock the information. When intermediate node receive RREQ packet it include trust level of node that sends its RREQ and increases the cumulative field of its previous nodes. next-hop of intermediate check back after rebroadcast RREQ that it has provided proper information or not if not ,then it immediately broadcast warning message that malicious actions of that node. RREQ packet propagated through network and finally reaches to the destination. Destination node checks that RREQ packet coming to it is destined for it. Then it use private key to find source node S. destination will select final route based on maximum cumulative trust value. Hop count considering only when more than one packet having same trust value. After that destination node locally broadcast RREP packet which contain public key of intermediate node they were encoded when RREQ packet propagated toward destination. when intermediate node receive RREP packet they try decode it using their public key, if they failed then discarded the RREP otherwise update their routing table and at last it will remove their part and broadcast packets. In this way, RREP is coming back to source node. Trust Framework using IDSG. In this T-AODV (trust embedded), we assume that the system is equipped with some monitor mechanism or intrusion detection units in network layer, so that every node can observe behavior of its one hope neighbors. In this framework of trusted AODV mainly contains three modules (1) basic AODV routing protocol (2) trust model (3) trusted AODV routing protocol which contains procedure such as trust recommendation, trust combination, trust judging, cryptographic routing behavior, trusted routing behaviors and trust updating. Initially, node use cryptographic scheme which is proposed in secure AODV protocol to perform routing discovery operations. After performing some communication with other nodes as either successful or failed based on it, node changes its opinion about other nodes using trust updating algorithm. After establishing trust relationship among nodes in network, these all nodes use trusted based routing protocol based on trust model to perform routing operations. Now node X will utilize the trust recommendation protocol to give and receive trust information about node Y from its neighbors then, it use trust combination algorithm to combine all the recommendation opinion together and compute new opinion about Y. In this framework, routing discovery and trust establishment process is done as self-organized way without using third party’s interventions. Intrusion detection algorithm: In this algorithm, source node broadcasting RREP packets, which contain security related information in addition to regular information, to all its neighbors. Intermediate node received RREP packet and put trustworthy information in it and forward it to next hop. Process is repeat until final destination is reach. Destination node waits for fixed number of RREQs or particular time interval before making routing decisions. Then destination node unicast the RREP on reverse root back to source node then, source node start to forwarding data packet by this route. During the communication, Intermediate node keep eye on active route of link status of next-hop, if proper trustworthy and performance not found then, it eliminated that node from route. Route error (RERR) packet is used to notify all other nodes about link breakage when active route’s link breakage is detected. This algorithm introduces less computation overheads than other security scheme for MANETs.
