In recent years, many trust and name models are proposed to reinforce the protection of mobile ad hoc networks. However, they either fail to capture proof of trustworthiness at intervals the restrictions of the network, or introduce further issues whereas capturing the proof. In this paper, we have a tendency to propose a reputation-based trust model referred to as Secure MANET with Neighbor Collaboration Routing (SMNCR). In our model, the proof of trustworthiness is captured in an economical manner and from broader views as well as direct interactions with neighbors, observing interactions of neighbors and thru recommendations. SMNCR captures proof from direct interactions with neighbors so as to spot their benign and malicious behaviors. It conjointly captures proof for misbehavior by observing the interactions of neighbors. Lastly, the proof captured from recommendations is employed to summarize the benign behavior of multi-hop nodes. In contrast to alternative models, we have a tendency to adopt a completely unique approach to capture proof from recommendations that eliminates recommender’s bias, free-riding, and honest elicitation. SMNCR utilizes the captured proof to predict whether or not a node is either benign or misbehaving. It then applies the prediction to reinforce the protection of communications looking on the choice policies, like whether or not to send a packet to or forward a packet on behalf of alternative nodes. Finally, we have a tendency to demonstrate the performance of our model through simulation results.
