Abstract
A mobile adhoc network (MANET) is a network which does not have any centralized control. Security and trust management are paramount concern for these networks for efficient data transfer among the participating nodes. In this paper, we propose an efficient security and trust management based algorithm for MANET. The proposed algorithm consists of three steps: initialization, data transmission, and detection. The time based nonce is generated at different time interval which gives effectiveness to the proposed approach in the sense that it is not easy to detect the generated nonce. The proposed approach is quite effective with the earlier approaches to detect the security threat in MANET.
