Mobile ad hoc network (MANET) has a distributed
and uncontrolled nature in which all nodes are considered
trusted and contribute in the route discovery process.
Accordingly, MANET is vulnerable to many types of routing
attacks. One of the most popular MANET routing protocol that
is vulnerable to different attacks is ad hoc on demand distance
vector (AODV) routing protocol. In this paper, a mobile
backbone network of trusted nodes is proposed to enhance
AODV security with minimum overhead. The proposed
backbone network does not violate the MANET mobility
characteristic. It is constructed from randomly moving regular
MANET nodes based on their trust value, location, and power.
The backbone network monitors regular nodes as well as each
other to periodically estimate monitoring trust values which
represent the reliability of each node in the network. The
simulation results show that the backbone network is trustable,
has dynamic behavior, and has good coverage.
