Abstract

Sensor network’s safety measures are built on an unrealistic trusted environment, because proposed trust models for WSNs are unsuited for resource supplies and have high computation overhead. This paper proposes a lightweight and realistic trust model for clustered WSNs (LTM). This model has been designed on the dynamic nature of actual trust building mechanism to meet the resource constraint of tiny sensor nodes. A trust metrics priority to emphasize on the important tasks of a sensor node is introduced here. A dynamic trust updating algorithm that ensures brisk drop and sluggish rise of trust is also proposed. Additionally, a self-adaptive weighted method is defined for trust aggregation, to avoid misjudgment of aggregated trust calculation. The proposed trust model also provides better resilience against vulnerabilities. We have tested the feasibility of our trust model with MATLAB.
