MANET’s have extraordinary characteristics include dynamic network topology and moving nodes. MANET is very helpful in regions for networks that require ad hoc connectivity and have devices with mobility. This sudden spurt in MANETs has attracted research in suggesting optimal routing schemes for MANETs. Further, MANETs are also vulnerable to attacks of several kinds. Further, the need for better speed and efficiency in these mobile devices keeps rising every year and the resulting demand for further protocol optimization is seen. This study proposes an DCCHSM, a hybrid technique using k-means and k-medoids for secure routing efficiency in MANETs. This study also displays the results of DCCHSM efficiency in its implementation.
