COACH: A context aware and multi-service trust model for Cooperation management in heterogeneous wireless networks
Résumé
The wide majority of existing trust-based systems in wireless networks are today bound to a single service. As such, they cannot use past experiences related to other services. Even those that support multiple services hide this heterogeneity by regrouping all past experiences and contexts into a single metric, which strongly degrades the quality of results. To go beyond these restrictions, we designed a novel context-aware and multi-service trust model for heterogeneous wireless networks that involve nodes with different resources capabilities. Simulation results prove the proper functioning of the proposed system and its effectiveness against common attacks hindering trust models.
