Abstract
In the past decades, several trust models have been proposed to enhance the security of Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs). The conventional trust models fail to express the notion of uncertainty during the establishment of trust relationships between mobile nodes. Furthermore, they lack in considering the context attributes in trust evaluation. This paper proposes a subjective logic based trust model in POR (SLT-POR) that integrates both the behavioural and context based trust in trust model. The behavioural based trust incorporates subjective logic based evidence fusion in indirect trust evaluation to explicitly represent and manage ignorance as uncertainty. The trust relationship between nodes cannot always reflect the actual relationship and consequently the executed decision from the extracted trust relationship is not always accurate. The subjective logic theory includes a dynamic base rate operator that evaluates an expectation of an opinion and handles the uncertainty in evidence collection. In context, attributes based trust measurement, the SLT-POR estimates a context based trust value using the contextual attributes of each node in the trusted positive progress set. The SLT-POR considers the battery power to include node’s lifetime in the trustworthiness estimation. It assigns a weight for both behaviour and context based trust to efficiently calculate total trustworthiness of a node. The simulation results demonstrate that the packet delivery ratio of the proposed SLT-POR is high even if 50 % of total nodes are malicious and outperforms Context-Aware Security and Trust (CAST) framework.
