However, the infrastructure-less, pervasive, and by a set of mobile devices falling within the transmission distributed nature of MANETs renders them vulnerable to range of each other [6]. They lack any sort of centralized security threats. In this paper, we propose a novel cluster- administration or fixed infrastructure and are known by based trust-aware routing protocol (CBTRP) for MANETs their dynamic topology, as nodes are capable of moving to protect forwarded packets from intermediary malicious actively while remaining active and reachable. Routing nodes. The proposed protocol organizes the network into protocols act as the binding force in MANETs and facilitate one-hop disjoint clusters then elects the most qualified and communication beyond the physical wireless range of the trustworthy nodes to play the role of cluster-heads that are nodes. To provide connectivity, every node cooperates with responsible for handling all the routing activities. The other hosts to deliver packets to their destination by acting proposed CBTRP continuously ensures the trustworthiness as a router. These protocols could operate in either a flat or of cluster-heads by replacing them as soon as they become hierarchical network architectu
