Abstract
Reputation-based trust systems have received large attention as a mechanism to enforce cooperation in decentralized environment such as Mobile ad hoc Networks (MANET). Performance of the MANET results from the cooperation which may be selfish. In such context, avoiding entities that could exhibit malicious behaviour is a challenge. These malicious behaviours include on-off, selfishness, collusion and oscillating. In this paper, we proposed an agent-based reputation approach for MANET that has threefold goals: first it is an enhancement scheme for existing routing protocol in terms of quality of service such as packet delivery. Second, without any prior information, an evaluator agent can form a view about an evaluated agent by requesting and interpreting the reports provided by recommender even when the majority of these reports are unfair. This is done through the similarity of beliefs between agents. Finally the Dempster Shafer theory is used during the integration of information provided by recommender to reduce the uncertainty in trust evaluation.
