ABSTRACT
Nowadays people want to enjoy the shift from “always on” to “always connected” communication environment. Internet fulfills that wish with full of capabilities to become an important part of next-generation wireless network. The similarity between any dynamic network and Internet of Things (IoTs) environment opens spick-and-span ways for providing different services in such environments and also focusses on various issues in its networking 402constraints as well. Ad hoc network is a dynamic and temporary network, which is settled on the fly without any skeleton. Usually they are used in military operations, emergency rescue, disaster recovery, wireless sensor network, and commercial multimedia communication. Due to open transmission medium and absence of secure boundaries, IoT became more susceptible to attacks with malicious intent to cripple the network. This chapter has the objective to highlight the benefits of soft security-based solution to provide the security in IoT environment during routing. The proposed trust-aware routing arranges all available routes in the descending order of trust value (TV) and ascending order of hop-counts.
