5G edge computing enabled Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) is an efficient
technology to provide decentralized medical services while Device-to-device
(D2D) communication is a promising paradigm for future 5G networks. To assure
secure and reliable communication in 5G edge computing and D2D enabled IoMT
systems, this paper presents an intelligent trust cloud management method.
Firstly, an active training mechanism is proposed to construct the standard
trust clouds. Secondly, individual trust clouds of the IoMT devices can be
established through fuzzy trust inferring and recommending. Thirdly, a trust
classification scheme is proposed to determine whether an IoMT device is
malicious. Finally, a trust cloud update mechanism is presented to make the
proposed trust management method adaptive and intelligent under an open
wireless medium. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed method can
effectively address the trust uncertainty issue and improve the detection
accuracy of malicious devices
