Abstract: Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET) is a particularly disputed network because of its particular features, for example, active topography, decentralization, as well as neighbor depend routing. In MANET, any mobile nodes can connect or disappear arbitrarily; thus, mobile nodes cannot awake which node is it joined with, and this creates resources been dealt between unknown nodes that can be trusted or not. As a result, without any trustworthiness makes the main susceptibility in security concerned aspects of the MANET. In this situation, trust value employs a vital function in all network performance. This paper introduces Dempster Shafer theory and Encounter based Trust Routing (DETR) in a MANET. In this scheme, the direct trust and indirect trust is used to compute the mobile node trust. The node cooperation and encounter rate parameters measure the node direct trust in the network. The node indirect trust is computed based on the neighbour node opinion using Dempster Shafer theory. Simulation results demonstrate that DETR detecting untrustable nodes in the network.
