  Routing protocols are used to transmit the packets from the source to the
destination node in mobile ad hoc networks. The intruders seek chance to pierce
into the network and becomes a cause of malfunctioning in the network. These
protocols are always prone to attacks. During the phases of routing in
different types of protocols, each of the attack finds a way to degrade the
performance of the routing protocols. The reactive routing protocols DSR and
AODV have lot of similar features and so are considered in this study. In order
to transmit the packets safely, a secured approach using triple factor has been
proposed. This triple factor computes the trust by using the direct information
then verifies the reputation by collecting the information from the
neighbouring nodes called distributed factor and uses cryptographic algorithm
to ensure security. And to ensure that there are routes available to perform
the routing process, the reasons for such attacks are studied so as to
re-integrate back the nodes in to the network, once it has repented for being
malicious before. The availability of routes increases the throughput
