N2 - In mobile ad hoc network (MANET), most of the existing routing technique lagstrusted way of communication among the mobile nodes. The control messages are also prone tothe external threats. Also, the act of performing authentication of the nodes during each routingprocess causes increased overhead. Hence, in this paper, we propose a trust-based light weightauthentication routing protocol in MANET. Initially, a multipath route discovery technique isutilised that selects the path with maximum packet success ratio as optimal path for datatransmission. For each node in the chosen path, global trust value is estimated based on directand indirect trust values of the node. If the trust value of any node is below threshold value, thenit is authenticated using the secret sharing technique. This authentication technique enhances thereliability, redundancy and network lifetime. By simulation results, we show that proposedprotocol improves the reliability and security of routing
