AbstractMANET stands for Mobile ad-hoc network, which is also known as a wireless network. It provides a routable networking environment which does not have a centralized infrastructure. MANET is used in many important sectors like economic sector (corporate field), security sector (military field), education sector (video conferences and lectures), law sector (law enforcement) and many more. Even though it plays a vital role in different sectors and improves its economic growth, security is a major concern in MANET. Due to lack of inbuilt security, several attacks like data traffic attack, control traffic attack. The wormhole is a kind of control traffic attack which forms wormhole link between nodes. In this paper, we have proposed an approach to detect and get rid of the wormhole attack. The proposed approach is based on trust values, which will decide whether nodes are affected by using parameters like receiving time and data rate. On evaluation, we have concluded that the wormhole attack decreases the network's performance while using trusted approach its value increases. Means PDR and throughput return best results for the affected network while in case of end to end delay it returns similar results as of unaffected network.
