Abstract

Trust and reputation models emerges new facet that aims to provide secure and reliable computations in distributed computational environment. In this manuscript, we propose pervasive explorations of wireless sensor network to investigate the effect of static, dynamic and oscillating modes. Our proposed model constitutes five trust and reputation models namely: bio-inspired trust and reputation, Eigen trust, peer trust, power trust, linguistic fuzzy trust and reputation. The impact of different wireless sensor networks modes has been judged for accuracy, path length and energy consumption over deployed models. Further experimental results have demonstrated to prove the validity of our proposal.
