Trust calculation in wireless sensor networks

Abstract

A wireless sensor network (WSN) is a collection of distributed sensor nodes to work together for monitoring the physical and environmental conditions. Trust in wireless sensor networks is an important issue and it solves the problem of access control, privacy, secure routing scheme and reliable communication. This paper introduces a new approach to calculate the trust in WSN. The proposed algorithm and the evaluation of the trust value of the node in the network depend on the trust attributes, metrics and trust parameters.
