Abstract
This research promotes MTrust a reputation-based trust model that will ensure cooperative interactions amongst mobile agents and visited hosts in a mobile agent system. MTrust is composed of a reputation system and a trust formation system. A reputation system relies on two components; a truthful feedback submission algorithm and a set of distributed feedback information storages. A trust formation system enables a truster to compute a trustee’s trustworthiness. It has two components namely; a feedback aggregation module (FAM) and a trust computing module (TCM). A FAM calculates a trust value from feedback information when there is a lack of direct experiences using Beta distribution. A TCM calculates a trust value using Bayesian Network (BN).
