Abstract
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are vulnerable to many security threats from compromised nodes. A trust management system is an effective method to detect the malicious behaviors in WSNs. In this paper, an effective Comprehensive Trust Evaluation Model (CTEM) for WSNs is proposed and two kinds of trusts are considered, the direct trust and the indirect trust. The direct trust is assessed by monitoring the data collection, the energy consumption and the data forwarding of node. More significantly, the entropy theory is introduced to measure the uncertainty of direct trust. The indirect trust is integrated to evaluate a comprehensive trust when the uncertainty of direct trust is high enough so as to improve the one-sidedness of direct trust. CTEM can not only reduce the computation overhead of node but also prolong the lifetime of network. Simulation results show that the proposed strategy can defend against internal attacks and have better performances compared with some typical trust evaluation mechanisms.
