A novel trust based energy efficient manets routing with blockchain using intelligent algorithms

Abstract

newline Computer networks and internet technologies have improved communication, creating the need for small ad hoc networks and large centralized networks. An Ad hoc networks function without a permanent infrastructure, such as routers, switches or connectivity through access points. This makes them highly adaptable and suitable for scenarios where establishing a traditional network infrastructure is challenging or impossible, such as disaster-stricken areas or military operations. Users can deploy them quickly and easily, making them valuable in emergencies or temporary settings like conferences, festivals, or remote locations were setting up permanent infrastructure is impractical. Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANET) are widely preferred in small emergency-based responsible networks. MANET is a wireless network integrated with Ethernet, router, and internet connectivity for communication between the other mobile nodes. Due to the dynamic nature of the MANET, security has become the main concern. Recently, blockchain has been raised as an integrated technology in various fields for enhancing data storage security.
