Trust: An Approach for Securing Mobile ad hoc Network

Abstract

When functionning in the ad hoc mode, wireless networks do not rely on a predefined infrastructure for achieving the basic network functionalities. Hosts of such networks need to count on one another to keep in contact with the network and carry out services such as routing, security, auto-configuration,... Network services and, in particular, security thus strongly depend on the way the nodes find the correct partners with which they can cooperate efficiently. As consequence, it seems important for ad hoc networks to provide a representation of trust together with a mechanism to evaluate it. In this paper, we present ad hoc networks, and show how trust is fundamental in the existing propositions to improve their security. After identifying the characteristics of existing trust models, we focus on those that should be implemented in a trust model for ad hoc networks.
