ABSTRACT
Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANET) is one of the rapidly emanating technologies, which has gained
attention in a wide range of applications in the fields of military, private sectors, commercials and natural
calamities. Securing MANET is a dominant responsibility, and hence, a trust factor and fuzzy based
intrusion detection and prevention system is proposed for routing in this paper. Based on the trust values of
the nodes, the fuzzy system identifies the intruder, such that the path generated in the MANET is secured.
Moreover, an optimization algorithm, entitled Fuzzy integrated Particle Swarm Optimization (Fuzzy-
FPSO), is proposed by the concatenation of the Firefly Algorithm (FA) and Particle Swarm Optimization
(PSO) for the optimal path selection in order to provide secure routing. The simulation of the proposed
methodology is NS2 simulator and analysis is carried out considering four cases, like without attack,
flooding attacks, black hole attack and selective packet drop attack concerning throughput, delay and
detection rate. The remarkable evaluation measures of the proposed Fuzzy-FPSO are the maximal
throughput of 0.634, minimal delay of 0.044 , maximal detection rate of 0.697 and minimal routing
overhead of 0.24550 And the evaluation measure for the case without any attacks are the maximal
throughput of 0.762, minimal delay of 0.029 ,maximal detection rate of 0.805 and minimal routing
overhead of 0.11511.

1. INTRODUCTION
The wireless communication network is available in many modes with the hasty technology
evolution. Because of the omnipresent existence of remarkable factors, like scalability and
mobility, the wireless networks [1] are preferred compared to the wired network. One of the
crucial applications of the wireless network is the Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET), which has
uninterrupted self-configuration, self-maintenance and framework-less network for mobile
gadgets interlinked without wires [2]. A MANET is a collection of heterogeneous, self-organized
and battery powered mobile nodes with varying availability of resources and computation
capacity [5]. The communication of data between these nodes is established with the help of
neighbors either directly or indirectly without utilizing the support of any central coordinator or
permanent framework [6]. MANET is extensively used when the components or mobile nodes are
not within the similar transmission range. Single-hop network and multi-hop network are the two
types of networks; A network which provides direct communication between nodes existing
within the same range is named single-hop network. It doesn’t require any intermediate node,

14
whereas the multi-hop network provides indirect communication between the nodes by
employing intermediate nodes. Owing to the non-availability of the central point of control, it
expands to the incorporation of a malicious node into the network leading to various attacks [11]
[4]. The enforcing procedure is tough because of the lack of infrastructure; such rare traits make
the utilization of MANET in several fields [2]. The vigorous and distributed attribute of MANET
makes them applicable in various applications, like monitoring of the environment, reclamation
activity at emergencies, military processes, and human-urged hazards [5].
Network security is also a dominant application of MANET since it is an open medium, which is
highly vulnerable to malicious attack by several attackers. Such malicious attacks in the MANET
[12] are mainly due to the poor physical security measures. Since the MANET is tremendously
vulnerable to easy interpolation of non-cooperative nodes and malicious nodes by attackers, a
routing table is perpetuated in the network. Because of the distributed architecture in MANET
with none of the controlling equipment, like access points or routers, it is troublesome to
centralize the monitoring process [2]. The MANET has various routing protocols for providing
assurance about the network cooperation, non-availability of the malicious node and routing the
packets from source to destination [3]. The recent routing algorithms [25] are not constructed to
overcome the malicious attacks, whereas the newly designed routing protocols are readily
susceptible to react to the security hazards in the MANET [3]. Even though the networking
technology has evolved to a greater extent in the last decade from fixed to wireless
communication, the Intrusion Detection and Prevention (IDP) is still confessed as the primitive
layer of defense. But in MANET, the IDP is declared as the elemental layer of defense since the
implementation of the firewall is complicated [14] [9].
The malfunctionality of network gadgets, congestion in the network, active attack and intrusions
are the major causes of the abnormality in MANET. An acute aberration, which spoils the
availability and service integrity of a network, is the Intrusion [8]. Since the standard security
measures like authentication and security don't assure complete network protection, the IDP
mechanisms are extensively employed to protect the MANETs [9]. This IDP secures the nodes in
the network from routing attacks. The two major Intrusion Detection (ID) schemes are
Knowledge-Based Intrusion Detection (KBID) and Anomaly-Based Intrusion Detection (ABID).
The KBID predicts only the attacks, whose signatures are already in the database. It has probably
low false detection rate, whereas ABID exploits even the fresh and abrupt attacks, providing
warning alarms for other expected intrusions. But KBID is highly prone to produce false positives
compared to ABID [15]. Intrusion Detection Systems (IDSs) are employed to inspect the
movements and destructive offensive actions within the network [14]. IDSs [26] investigate the
unapproved operation of system and aggression in the network architecture. The IDS
consideration is important because of the technology advancement and high chances of threats on
the internet [13] [10]. Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPSs) are usually used to identify and protect
the network from abominable traffic and the malicious attack consequences. Hence, an Intelligent
Intrusion Detection and Prevention System (IIDPS) with the cooperation of trust management and
a detection algorithm for the attack is proposed for identifying the malicious node [10].
This research intends to design an IDPS with the assistance of trust management and attacker’s
detection algorithm. The major goal of this proposed IDPS system is to provide the nodes with
the secured path rather than the shortest path. This scheme explores all the feasible paths from the
source node to a destination node on the basis of their trust modeled based on four trust factors,
such as direct, indirect, recent and historic trust. From these feasible paths, the best optimal path
is selected by the utilization of the newly devised FPSO algorithm, constructed by the
incorporation of the FA and PSO optimization algorithms. The optimized path with the maximum
trust is conferred as the best secure path for routing. It also discovers and protects the nodes from
malicious attacks by enhancing the detection rate, throughput, and delay.The major contribution

15
of this research is developing a trust-based optimization algorithm, FPSO, by the integration of
FA and PSO for the optimal path selection and thereby, combining the algorithm with the fuzzy
logic, to develop fuzzy-FPSO, for the secured data communication in MANET.
The Organization of the rest of the paper is : the literature survey is discussed in Section 2, here
the related works of IDSs are reviewed, the sytem setup together with the trust model are
explained in section 3, the proposed IDPS scheme for protecting nodes from attacks and
providing a secured routing path is elaborated in Section 4, the simulation results of the proposed
work is available in Section 5 and finally, the conclusion of the research is made in Section 6.
2. MOTIVATION
2.1 RELATED WORKS
This section elaborates the algorithms and techniques used in the priorly existing systems for the
IDP in MANETs to gather some knowledge for the proposed IIDPS implementation Opinder
Singh et al. [10] proposed an Intelligent IDPS (IIDPS), for protecting the ad-hoc network from
malicious attacks. It was comprised of a central network administrator for malicious node
detection and a trust manager to classify the network trust into various categories. This
methodology enhances the performance of networks in MANET, but it is not convenient for
detecting several types of attack in data mining.
Rajesh Babu and Usha [2] presented a Novel Honeypot Based Detection and Isolation Approach
(NHBADI) that supported in detection and isolation of black hole attacks in MANET. Along with
the detection of the malicious nodes, the approach had isolated the black hole prone nodes in the
network. It improved the network security by minimizing the packet drop ratio, network overhead
and normalized routing load. One of the considerable drawbacks is it doesn't track or solve the
intruder activity of indirect interaction.
Poonam Joshi et al. [3] developed an Enhanced Adaptive ACKnowledgment (EAACK) technique
for detection of malicious behavior. It is a powerful attack controlling mechanism guaranteeing
data security, but it cannot handle the attacks like black hole attack or even spoofing.
Farrukh Aslam Khan et al. [4] presented a Detection and Prevention System (DPS) technique to
identify and thwart the malicious nodes in MANETs. For continuous monitoring of the nodal
behavior some special nodes, named DPS nodes, were employed. When the DPS node had
predicted some abnormal nodal behavior, the technique could assign that node as a wormhole,
broadcasting the message to the other nodes to terminate the control and data messages to the
particular node. The main advantage was it minimized the total number of dropped packets due to
the malicious nodes with a minimum false positive rate. However, the technique is not suitable to
modify the DPS system to prevent the network from other similar attacks.
Basant Subba et al. [5] developed a Bayesian game theory based MANET IDS scheme to address
the rapid depletion of battery life of node. The scheme comprised of an election process based on
cluster leader and hybrid IDS. The election process with respect to cluster leader had elected the
cluster leader for intrusion detection service by utilizing Vickrey–Clarke–Groves scheme. The
hybrid IDS consisted of a lightweight module based on a threshold and a heavyweight module
based on the powerful anomaly. The scheme reduces the power consumption along with the
achievement of maximum detection rate and minimum false alarm rate but doesn't target on
minimizing false positive rate and enhancing the detection rate of hybrid MANET IDS
heavyweight and lightweight modules.

16
Marchang et al. [6] presented a Probabilistic model, which utilized the cooperation among the
neighboring node IDSs for reducing the individual active time. The model aimed to decrease the
active time duration of IDSs without affecting its effectiveness. The interactions between the
IDSs were modeled as a multi-player cooperative game, which provided partially conflicting and
partially cooperative goals, for the validation purpose. The model enhances the network lifetime
significantly but is not suitable for heterogeneous networks.
G. Usha et al. [7] proposed a Honeypot Based Dynamic Anomaly Detection Using Cross-Layer
Security (HBDADCS), for prediction and protection of the MANET from black hole attack. This
technique enhanced the detection accuracy of attacks and provided better delivery of packets.
However, due to the least percentage of black hole nodes, the network load is very low.
Erfan A Shams, and Ahmet Rizaner [8] developed a SVM-based IDS to predict the Denial of
Service (DoS) type of attacks. The system had provided continuous monitoring of the network to
predict and eliminate the malicious nodes in the MANET, in order to enhance its performance. It
had intensified the network reliability and was independent of the network size, node mobility
and network routing protocol. The system could detect and remove the network attacks within a
short computing time, and high detection rate, but the packet delivery ratio shrinks when a
malicious node is available in the system.
2.2 CHALLENGES
Some of the perceived challenges from the above literature survey are stated as follows,
• The traditional routing protocols can’t effectively predict and protect the MANET from
various intruder attacks. One of the highly demanded aspects in MANET design is the
evolution of a secure routing protocol [4].
• The Bayesian game theory based MANET IDS scheme [5] doesn’t address several issues,
like the prediction of selfish nodes in MANETs with high accuracy, reducing the
computational overhead associated with the mechanism of cluster leader node selection.
• On implementation of SVM-based IDS [8], the packet delivery ratio decreases due to the
availability of malicious nodes in the system. The end-to-end delay is maximum when
malicious nodes attack the network. When the network is affected by a large number of
malicious nodes, the effect becomes worse.
3. NETWORK MODEL OF MANET
A MANET is a self-configured collection of wireless devices or nodes, which easily transmit and
receive data with the support of MANET. The type of application decides the node density and
the number of nodes for data transmission. Figure 1 displays the network model of a MANET
with a number of nodes, expressed as { }qv AAAA ,,,,1 LL= , where q is the total number of
nodes in the MANET. Each node is located in the network at the location ),( ba , such that the
location of th
v the node is ),( vv ba . The source node is denoted as SA and the destination node is
denoted as DA . The data transmission within the network is done hop by hop because of the
limited transmission range [17]. All the nodes that constitute a path are assumed to be within a
transmission range, denoted as R . The routing between the source and the destination is carried
out on the basis of trust computation value through trusted nodes. Here the nodes with maximum
trust value are considered as secured nodes, whereas the nodes with minimum trust value are
considered as intruder nodes. The sink used in the MANET, denoted as J acts as a server and
manages the traffic and improves the lifetime of the network. There are multiple routes available
between the source and destination and the optimal path for transmission is selected by
employing FPSO algorithm.

3.1 TRUST COMPUTATION MODEL
Trust computation plays an important role in exploiting the trust of agents in the existence of
malicious nodes in a network. The main function of the trust model [18] is to gather, disseminate
and accumulate the feedback of previous participant nodes. The trust is the relationship between
two nodes in a network; trust computation classifies the nodes as trusted and non-trusted nodes.
The trust computation value is quantified within the limit 1 to -1, where -1 indicates the non-
trusted nodes, +1 indicates the trusted nodes, and 0 indicates the unknown nodes. The four trust
computations chosen for predicting the trusted source and destination nodes are direct, indirect,
recent and historic.
Direct trust: The direct trust is also called local trust; it indicates the trust portion, which a node
calculates from its self-experience about the target nodes.

4. PROPOSED IDPS BASED ON THE TRUST FACTOR AND THE FIREFLY
INTEGRATED PARTICLE SWARM OPTIMIZATION ALGORITHM
The Intrusion Detection and Prevention in MANET utilizing the proposed fuzzy-FPSO is
discussed in this section. The primitive goal of this work is to construct a contemporary highly
secure routing protocol by implementing trust factor and fuzzy based IDPS methodology. For the
Intrusion Detection and Prevention, here a trust factor and Firefly integrated Particle Swarm
Optimization (FPSO) algorithms are employed for predicting the secure route in the MANET.
The four major phases of this research are i) Trust computation of the nodes, ii) Intrusion
detection using fuzzy rule classifier, iii) Path generation, and iv) Selection of the secured path
using the proposed FPSO Algorithm. In phase 1, the trust value of every node will be calculated
on the basis of various trust factors, like direct trust, indirect trust, recent trust and historic trust.
After the successful computation of trust value of nodes, the intrusion detection will be identified
on the basis of Fuzzy rule classifier. The attackers intruding the network can be predicted by
employing the proposed IDPS with fuzzy rule along with trust factors. Once the secure nodes are
identified, the newly designed FPSO algorithm plays the vital role in the optimal path selection
for secure routing.
The block diagram of the IDPS implementation using proposed fuzzy-FPSO is depicted in figure
2. The four main steps in the IDPS are intrusion detection, path prediction, optimal path selection,
and finally the data transmission. Initially, all the nodes are initialized with trust=1, the intrusion
node is detected by utilizing the fuzzy classifier. On the basis of the trust, the source node and the
destination node are chosen for the transmission of data. All the paths between the source-
destination nodes are predicted considering the trust level of the nodes. For determining the
optimal path between source and destination, an integrated newly designed FPSO optimization
algorithm is employed that predicts the path concerning the appropriate fitness function. Then,
the data will be sent through the predicted optimal path. The upcoming sections elaborate the
proposed methodology.

4.1 FUZZY BASED INTRUSION DETECTION IN MANET
The similarity between the MANET and the fuzzy system is that both deals with uncertainty. The
uncertain mobility of nodes makes the communication in MANET vulnerable. The fuzzy system
is adaptable, and it can modify its fuzzy rule set and membership functions, its block diagram is
depicted in figure 3. The mathematical pattern representation of the fuzzy set is called as the
mathematical function. This fuzzy system [19] is employed to predict the intrusion nodes in a
data communication system on the basis of trust computation values. The four main modules [20]
for the intrusion detection system using the fuzzy system are i) extraction of trust based parameter
module, ii) Inference module of fuzzy, iii) Threshold-based decision module, and iv) Response
module. Initially, the extracted trust based parameters are fed to the fuzzy system as the input.
The fuzzification is the process of conversion of the input or output value to their semantic level
in order to determine its membership function. The relationship between the input and output
value is supervised by a set of rules. After the generation of all the rules the resultant control
surface is denoted as the constraint output, this mechanism is termed as inference. The process of
conversion of fuzzy data into crisp data is said to be defuzzification. In the inference module, the
membership functions and the fuzzy rules are applied on the input trust parameters to determine
the level of fidelity in each node. In the threshold based decision module, the fidelity level of
nodes is compared with the threshold value to predict the behavior of the node. The response
module is initiated concluding that, if the fidelity level of a node is greater than the threshold, it is
a secured node, whereas if the fidelity level is lesser than the threshold, it is an intruder node.

20

4.2 PATH GENERATION BETWEEN SOURCE AND DESTINATION
After the prediction of the secured nodes and intruder nodes using the fuzzy system, the next step
is the generation of paths between the source and the destination through the trusted nodes. Thus,
all the possible number of paths between the source node, SA , and the destination node, DA , are
generated for the transmission of packets. Some of the possible paths from the source to the
destination in figure 1 can be interpreted as S → 8 → 9 → D, S → 10 → D, S → 2 → 3→ 4→ D,
and so on. From the generated paths, the optimal ‘p’ paths are to be selected by implementing the
newly developed FPSO optimization algorithm, based on the objective function, which will be
discussed in section 4.3.
4.3 PROPOSED FPSO FOR THE SELECTION OF OPTIMAL PATH
The important research field, which is based on the collective behaviour of decentralized and self-
organized systems, is the Swarm Intelligence (SI). The Firefly Algorithm (FA) is incorporated
with the PSO for the optimal path selection. FA [21] [22] is a recently evolved SI, which is a type
of nature-inspired, stochastic, meta-heuristic algorithm employed to deal with the hard
optimization issues. FA was promoted by the inspiration of firefly’s flashing light and was
incorporated for determining the optimal path by trial and error method. Initially, it produces new
solutions within the search space and then chooses the optimal path for efficient data
transmission. Every search process is inveigled by the balance between exploration and
exploitation, exploration focuses on the methodologies for the generation of varying solutions
within the search space and exploitation denotes the search process within the proximity of
optimal solution. The main advantages of FA are it posses multi-nodal characteristics and so, it
can easily solve the multi-nodal issues, providing faster convergence. Moreover, it can solve both
local and global problems. Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm [16], [23] is also a
stochastic Optimization algorithm based on SI, imitating the social behaviour of animals, like
herd, birds, fishes and insects. Each particle is defined as the promising solution for the search
space's optimal problems by memorizing the position and velocity of the swarm. For every
generation, the information of particles is merged together for altering the dimension's velocity,
which is used for computing the new particle position. In the search space of multi-dimension,
there is a constant alteration in the particle state, until the optimum or balanced state is reached.
The fitness functions are utilized for creating an exclusive connection between the varying
dimensions in the problem space. The major advantages of PSO are faster convergence, simple

21
and easy, robust, applicable to the varying environment with minimal modifications and provide
better performance on hybridization with other algorithms. The above-discussed FA is
incorporated with the PSO in order to select the optimal p-paths from the generated paths. The
optimal path is selected for the data transmission to provide effective communication by
minimizing the intrusion.
4.3.1 SOLUTION ENCODING
The simplest representation of the algorithm’s procedure is given by the solution encoding. The
encoding method for prediction of the optimal path by the proposed FPSO is mentioned here.
From the generated paths, the optimal path via non-intruded nodes is chosen by using the
proposed FPSO algorithm. Let ‘ P ’ be the number of paths generated between the source and the
destination. Let the population representing P number of solutions or the solution set be
},,2,1{ PG L= . By utilizing the fitness function the binary valued solution is obtained. For the
secure transmission of packets during routing, the fitness function is developed by considering the
distance and trust, as its main objective functions. From the generated P solutions, the proposed
FPSO chooses the maximum fitness valued solution, i.e. ‘p’ paths, for the optimal path selection.
4.3.2 FITNESS FORMULATION
The fitness function included in the optimization scheme makes the decisions based on the
solution quality. The major aim of the fitness function of FPSO with distance and trust as its
objective is to maximize the fitness value. The distance between the nodes taking part in routing
must be in minimum for an efficient route. Trust level is computed between the node and its
neighboring nodes for ensuring security in the network. The nodes with the maximum trust level
will be only chosen as the intermediate trusted nodes for data transmission. The maximum fitness
valued solution is considered as the optimal path of a system. The formulation of fitness function

4.3.3 FPSO ALGORITHM
The proposed FPSO was constructed by incorporating FA [21] and PSO [23] algorithm, for the
detection and prevention of malicious nodes in MANET, assuring secured data communication.
The steps associated with the FPSO algorithm are discussed below,
Step I: Initialization
Initialization of the swarm population is the basic step of the algorithm. The population for the
proposed FPSO is expressed as
{ } LiHHHHH Li ≤≤= 1;,,,,, 21 KK (10)
Where, Lis represented as the population size, and iH is the th
i solution of the population.
STEP II: FITNESS COMPUTATION
The fitness value for each solution is computed using the equation (5), the maximum fitness
valued solution is considered as the optimal path for data communication. The node’s positions
are updated based on the iterative generation of fitness value of the solutions. The optimal path
prediction and reallocation of node’s location is discussed in the remaining steps.
STEP III: UPDATING POSITION WITH THE INTEGRATED FA
The PSO algorithm was evolved by imitating the animal social behavior of leaderless swarm or
group. The best surveillance condition for the animal is achieved by simultaneous communication
with the other members already surviving in better circumstances. Finally, the best condition
(optimal solution) is achieved by continuous exchange of information between its members [24].
Here every node is considered as a member and the distance and trust level are the information
parameters. This PSO is accelerated to provide better results and solves problems of varying
diversity when some modifications are included. In this research, the provided modification for
PSO is the integration of PSO with FA.
Let the particle position be )(zHi at time instant z , the position of the particle is updated by
adding velocity since the velocity influences the particle position,

selection. Using FA [21], the firefly population is randomly initiated, and the initial parameter
value is altered by the inclusion of alpha new function. Based on the fitness value, the best
population (optimal solution) is identified, and finally the reallocation of the position of fireflies

Equation (25) is the finally obtained position update equation by using the proposed FPSO
algorithm. Using the above equations the optimal ‘p’ path prediction and the reallocation of nodes
in the MANET is done successfully, for routing.
STEP IV: DETERMINATION OF BEST SOLUTION
After the position update of the nodes using equation (25), the fitness value is computed utilizing
the fitness function in equation (5). The solution with the maximum fitness value is considered as
the best solution.
STEP V: TERMINATION
For the maximum number of iterations, the above steps are iteratively repeated. Finally, the
proposed Fuzzy-FPSO optimization algorithm determines the optimal path for secured data
transmission within the MANET. The pseudo code for the proposed Fuzzy-FPSO is given below
in figure 4.

5. RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS
The results of the proposed Fuzzy-FPSO for optimal path selection in MANET for IDPs are
elaborated in this section. The upcoming sections discuss the experimental setup and the
simulation along with its performance analysis.
5.1 EXPERIMENTAL SETUP
The experimentation is done in a computer configured with OS-Ubuntu-16.04, processor- Intel
core i-3, CPU with network adapter frequency as 2.16 GHz and RAM of 2 GB. NS2 Simulator is
the software tool utilized for the IDPS of MANET utilizing the proposed Fuzzy-FPSO with
various parameters shown in Table 1.

26
Table 1.Simulation Parameters
5.2 METHODS CHOSEN FOR COMPARISON ANALYSIS
The performance analysis of the proposed Fuzzy-FPSO is compared with the other three existing
schemes like, Hybrid Intrusion Detection System (HIDS) [5], Support Vector Machine Intrusion
Detection System (SVM-IDS) [8] and Intelligent Intrusion Detection and Prevention System
(IIDPS) [10]. IIDPS includes a trust manager and attacker detection algorithm for categorizing
the network's trust and detect the malicious node. The HIDS includes a threshold based
lightweight module and anomaly-based heavyweight module for reducing the IDS traffic and
overall power consumption. Meanwhile, the SVM-IDS use a simple structure for detecting the
DoS attacks within a short time. The effectiveness of the proposed scheme can be determined by
the comparative analysis with the existing approaches.
5.3 EVALUATION MEASURES
The three evaluation metrics considered for the comparative performance analysis are throughput,
delay and detection rate, which are defined below,
Throughput: This is a measure used for acknowledging the data packet delivery between the
source and the destination in the network. It is expressed as the ratio of the delivered number of
data packets to the simulation time.

Throughput = (26)
where, the total number of packets delivered is denoted as dN and the Simulation time is
indicated as sT .
Delay: The network’s transmission delay is defined as the ratio of the sum of delays in every
node to the total number of available nodes. It is expressed as shown in equation (27),

where, the total number of exactly detected malicious nodes is indicated as qN .
5.4 COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS
The comparative analysis of the proposed scheme with other existing schemes for the four cases
considered such as, black hole attack, flooding attack, and selective packet dropping attack, and
without attacks based on the three evaluation metrics.
5.4.1 ANALYSIS BASED ON THROUGHPUT
Figure.5 displays the comparative analysis plot of throughput for the four cases, like black hole
attack, flooding attack, selective packet dropping attack and without attack. Here, in the below
plots, the throughput is plotted against the simulation time. In figure 5.a, the throughput measure
of black hole attack at initial time 10 sec, is 0.732 for Fuzzy-FPSO, 0.702 for HIDS, 0.654 for
SVM-IDS, 0.660 for IIDPS. Similarly, at the final time 50 sec, the throughput values of different
approaches are, 0.634 for Fuzzy-FPSO, 0.59 for HIDS, 0.52 for SVM-IDS, and 0.543 for IIDPS.
In figure 5.b, the throughput value of flooding attack at initial time instant 10 sec, is 0.740 for
Fuzzy-FPSO, 0.691 for HIDS, 0.676 for SVM-IDS, 0.659 for IIDPS. Likewise, at the final time
instant 50 sec, the throughput values are as follows: 0.627 for Fuzzy-FPSO, 0.575 for HIDS,
0.523 for SVM-IDS, and 0.559 for IIDPS. In figure 5.c, the throughput measure of selective
packet dropping attack at initial time 10 sec is 0.725 for Fuzzy-FPSO, 0.729 for HIDS, 0.651 for
SVM-IDS, and 0.672 for IIDPS. Similarly, at the final time 50 sec, the throughput values of
different approaches are, 0.626 for Fuzzy-FPSO, 0.588 for HIDS, 0.527 for SVM-IDS, and 0.508
for IIDPS. In figure 5.d, the without attack throughput measure, at initial time 10 sec, for the
different approaches are, 0.875 for Fuzzy-FPSO, 0.849 for HIDS, 0.813 for SVM-IDS, and 0.829
for IIDPS. Likewise, at the final time 50 sec, the throughput values of different schemes are,
0.762 for Fuzzy-FPSO, 0.737 for HIDS, 0.668 for SVM-IDS, and 0.684 for IIDPS. The obtained
values deliberate that the throughput measure of all the schemes has decreased with the increase
in the simulation time. The maximum throughput value is attained by the proposed Fuzzy-FPSO
in all the considered four cases compared to the other existing methodologies. The upholding of
maximum throughput declares the newly devised scheme as the dominant methodology.

sec, for Fuzzy-FPSO is 0.025, HIDS is 0.031, SVM-IDS is 0.041, and IIDPS is 0.039. Likewise,
the delay, at simulation time 50 sec, for Fuzzy-FPSO is 0.044, HIDS is 0.049, SVM-IDS is 0.063,
and IIDPS is 0.059. In figure 6.c, the delay of the schemes for selective packet drop attack, at
simulation time 10 sec, for Fuzzy-FPSO is 0.025, HIDS is 0.034, SVM-IDS is 0.038, and IIDPS
is 0.041. Correspondingly, the delay at simulation time 50 sec, for Fuzzy-FPSO is 0.044, HIDS is
0.049, SVM-IDS is 0.059, and IIDPS is 0.058. In figure 6.d, the delay of without attack case, for
different schemes, at simulation time 10 sec, for Fuzzy-FPSO is 0.014, HIDS is 0.019, SVM-IDS
is 0.025, and IIDPS is 0.033. Similarly, the delay at simulation time 50 sec, for Fuzzy-FPSO is
0.029, HIDS is 0.031, SVM-IDS is 0.052, and IIDPS is 0.051. The yielded delay measure
conveys that the delay increases with the increasing simulation time. In all the four cases, the
proposed Fuzzy-FPSO has the minimum delay compared to the other three schemes summarizing
the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.

Packet Dropping attack and (d) without attack.
5.4.3 ANALYSIS BASED ON DETECTION RATE
The comparative analysis of detection rate is carried out concerning simulation time for black
hole attack, flooding attack, selective packet dropping attack and without attack is pictured in

time as 10 sec, for Fuzzy-FPSO is 0.472, HIDS is 0.453, SVM-IDS is 0.437, and IIDPS is 0.406.
Correspondingly, the detection rate at simulation time 50 sec, for Fuzzy-FPSO is 0.697, HIDS is
0.672, SVM-IDS is 0.621, and IIDPS is 0.6. In figure 7.b, the detection rate of the approaches for
flooding attack at simulation time 10 sec, for Fuzzy-FPSO is 0.555, HIDS is 0.487, SVM-IDS is
0.371, and IIDPS is 0.378. Likewise, the detection rate, at simulation time 50 sec, for Fuzzy-
FPSO is 0.688, HIDS is 0.659, SVM-IDS is 0.625, and IIDPS is 0.608. In figure 7.c, the detection
rate of the schemes, for selective packet drop attack, at simulation time 10 sec, for Fuzzy-FPSO is
0.573, HIDS is 0.495, SVM-IDS is 0.417, and IIDPS is 0.430. Correspondingly, the detection
rate, at simulation time 50sec, for Fuzzy-FPSO is 0.696, HIDS is 0.674, SVM-IDS is 0.607, and
IIDPS is 0.601. In figure 7.d, the detection rate for without attack case in different schemes at
simulation time 10 sec, for Fuzzy-FPSO is 0.707, HIDS is 0.669, SVM-IDS is 0.631, and IIDPS
is 0.645. Similarly, the detection rate at simulation time 50 sec, for Fuzzy-FPSO is 0.805, HIDS
is 0.782, SVM-IDS is 0.763, and IIDPS is 0.750. The determined detection rate measure reveals
the fact that the detection rate increases with the increase in simulation time. And the maximum
detection rate is achieved by the proposed Fuzzy-FPSO in comparison with the other existing
approaches justifying the proposed scheme as a productive one.

cases, such as black hole attack, flooding attack, selective packet dropping attack and without
attack is depicted in Figure.8. Figure 8.a shows the routing overhead of the schemes for black
hole attack at simulation time 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50 sec. At simulation time of 10 sec, the
routing overhead of Fuzzy-FPSO is 0.26376, HIDS is 0.32585, SVM-IDS is 0.39176, and IIDPS

of the Fuzzy-FPSO is 0.24550, HIDS is 0.30169, SVM-IDS is 0.40317, and IIDPS is 0.39508.

The simulation results justify that the proposed scheme has the enhanced performance over the
existing HIDS, SVM-IDS, IIDPS schemes with maximum throughput, minimum delay and
maximum detection rate.
6. CONCLUSION
This research work contemplates to develop an IDPS for the threats in MANET by the
reinforcement of trust management and based on the proposed Fuzzy-FPSO detection algorithm.
All the secured feasible paths from source node to destination node are discovered based on trust
computation, and the optimal path is chosen by employing the proposed FPSO having trust and
distance as its objective function. The proposed scheme is implemented in a NS2 simulator, and
the performance is evaluated in terms of the four evaluation metrics, like throughput, delay,
detection rate and routing overhead. The three major attacks considered for performance
evaluation are flooding attack, selective packet dropping attack and black hole attack. The
simulation results of the proposed Fuzzy-FPSO provides the maximum throughput and detection
rate along with minimized delay and minimum routing overhead on contrasting with the existing
approaches like HIDS, SVM-IDS, and IIDPS.
