GTRSSN: Gaussian trust and reputation system for sensor networks

Abstract

This paper introduces a new Gaussian trust and reputation system for wireless sensor networks based on sensed continuous events to address security issues and to deal with malicious and unreliable nodes. It is representing a new approach of calculating trust between sensor nodes based on their sensed data and the reported data from surrounding nodes. It is addressing the trust issue from a continuous sensed data which is different from all other approaches which address the issue from communications and binary point of view. © Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 2008
