Communication in Mobile Ad-Hoc Network (MANET) is based on mutual trust between the participating nodes. Due to features of open medium, dynamic changing topology, lack of centralized monitoring and management, MANETs are vulnerable to various security attacks. Hence, finding a secure and trustworthy end-to-end path in MANET is a real challenge. The paper presents a solution for trustworthy path discovery...
In this paper, we present a trust establishment and management framework for hierarchical wireless sensor networks. The wireless sensor network architecture we consider consists of a collection of sensor nodes, cluster heads and a base station arranged hierarchically. The framework encompasses schemes for establishing and managing trust between these different entities. We demonstrate that the proposed...
The routing performance in Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANETs) relies on the co-operation of the individual nodes that constitute the network. The existence of misbehaving nodes may paralyze the routing operation in MANETs. To overcome this behavior, the trustworthiness of the network nodes should be considered in the route selection process combined with the hop count. The trustworthiness is achieved...
The inherent freedom in self-organized mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs) introduces challenges for trust management; particularly when nodes do not have any prior knowledge of each other. Furthermore in MANETs, the nodes themselves should be responsible for their own security. We propose a novel approach for trust management in MANETs that is based on the nodes' own responsibility of building their...
The absence of a router or a base station urges the need for a better access control mechanism in the ad-hoc networks. All the nodes in the network need to cooperate among themselves for proper functioning of the network. It is important to provide access only to the nodes, which cooperate in routing and forwarding, and to deny access to the selfish nodes. Selfish nodes send and receive their own...
The traditional security solution based on cryptography and authentication is not sufficient for wireless sensor networks, which encounters new challenges from internal attackers, and trust is recognized as a novel approach to defend against such attacks. In this paper, we propose a trust-based LEACH (low energy adaptive clustering hierarchy) protocol to provide secure routing, while preserving the...
In ad-hoc environments, all nodes have function to set themselves a route and build a network. It is important how trustable each node is in the environment. This study proposes the cluster-based trust model, and uses the model to discuss how you can solve some possible problems occurred in the network. The reputation from a neighboring node is applied to the calculation of the trust value. If the...
The propagation of ubiquitous computing is bringing in an environment, where multitudes of diverse entities interact with each other. It is widely acknowledged that traditional security measures do not scale well in environments which are epitomized by unforeseen circumstances, unexpected interactions, and unknown entities. We propose the trust based security architecture based on the human notion...
