Most of the current Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET) nodes are battery powered devices with different processing and data handling capacities. The ratio of sensitive data is increasing rapidly day-by-day. Providing Security with moderate power utilization is one of the vital tasks in MANET architecture. In this paper an energy sensitive security selection schema that operates in the cluster level is introduced. A new clustering procedure that classifies MANET nodes into several virtual-energy-clusters and they bonded with the conventional routing clusters. Several multi-security and multi-weight cryptography procedures are integrated in the virtual-energy-clusters. Routing Cluster Table takes care of the fundamental communication where as the additional Virtual-energy-cluster table constantly monitoring nodes’ energy levels to maintain the mobility and life time of the entire network. For stable network communication, a correlation between Routing Clusters and Virtual-energy-clusters is maintained in this proposed method. By selecting correlated cryptography procedure in swift and dynamic mode, this dual cluster based network model takes care of providing higher security communication with moderate power consumption.
