Abstract: Security and scalability are two major research areas in the field of mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs). The existing solutions for security and scalability are majorly used for static networks, e.g., sensor networks. The focus of the present work is to detect and remove the multiple malicious black holes (MBH) and multiple malicious grey hole (MGH) nodes from the dynamic networks, e.g., MANETs. The proposed solution increases network security. An efficient weight-based clustering technique is used to enhance the stability and load balancing of the network. Cluster head (CH) is selected based on the maximum weight factor. The weight of the node is based on three factors: constancy factor (Cx) trust value (Ty) and link factor (Lz). Weightage values for the parameters can be prioritised and tested for consistency using analytic hierarchy process (AHP) algorithm. Each CH executes honeypot-AODV (H-AODV) to find the MBH and MGH nodes in its network.
