“…A significant number of these RTM models employ weight-based or threshold-based techniques in analysing the computed reputation values of the observed nodes in their respective networks before deciding on the observed nodes. In some cases, if a node's reputation drops below a specified threshold or weight, the node is penalised which could include being isolated from the network or deprived of the available network resources as in the proposed RTM models in [5,17,19,28,29]. Li Yang et.al [30] proposed a Dirichlet reputation system for reliable routing of wireless ad hoc networks.…”

“…In their proposed reputation model, Chiejina et al [17] employs a novel direct monitoring technique to evaluate the reputation of a node in the network. Their model ensures that nodes that expend their energy in transmitting data and routing control packets for others can carry out their network activities while the misbehaving nodes are detected and isolated from the network.…”

“…Furthermore, the qualitative and quantitative node categorisation in existing RTM models has not been exhaustively analysed. Some past works on RTM systems [5,6,[8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18]30] categorised nodes based on the good or bad behaviours they exhibited in the network. In this paper, we presented a categorisation in which a distinctive baseline is drawn between a node's active network operations such as successful, or unsuccessful forwarding of packets, and its passive operations, such as the accuracy of the recommendations disseminated about other nodes.…”

The distributed nature of mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) presents security challenges and vulnerabilities which sometimes lead to several forms of attacks. To improve the security in MANETs, reputation and trust management systems (RTMS) have been developed to mitigate some attacks and threats arising from abnormal behaviours of nodes in networks. Generally, most reputation and trust systems in MANETs focus mainly on penalising uncooperative network nodes. It is a known fact that nodes in MANETs have limited energy resources and as such, the continuous collaboration of cooperative nodes will lead to energy exhaustion. This paper develops and evaluates a robust Dirichlet reputation and trust management system which measures and models the reputation and trust of nodes in the network, and it incorporates candour into the mode of operations of the RTMS without undermining network security. The proposed RTMS employs Dirichlet probability distribution in modelling the individual reputation of nodes and the trust of each node is computed based on the node’s actual network performance and the accuracy of the second-hand reputations it gives about other nodes. The paper also presents a novel candour two-dimensional trustworthiness evaluation technique that categorises the behaviours of nodes based on their evaluated total reputation and trust values. The evaluation and analyses of some of the simulated behaviours of nodes in the deployed MANETs show that the candour two-dimensional trustworthiness evaluation technique is an effective technique that encourages and caters to nodes that continuously contribute to the network despite the reduction in their energy levels.

Routing in mobile ad hoc networks is based on the cooperation of the network's nodes. The presence of selfish nodes that do not cooperate in this task drastically reduces the number of delivered packets. In order to find the better paths that include nodes willing to cooperate, we propose a new routing algorithm based on the reputation of the nodes. In our proposal, each node locally assigns a reputation value to the rest of the nodes in the network and next it uses the assigned reputation values to find out the better routing paths, in order to minimize the overall packet loss ratio. We assume that nodes have a stationary routing behavior, but we also include a mechanism to detect changes in their behavior. Our approach has been evaluated in the presence of selfish nodes, in order to compare it with the dynamic source routing algorithm, obtaining a reduction in the packet loss ratio at the expenses of a small increase in the number of hops taken by the packets to reach their destinations.

“…After identifying an adversary, it waits for the next route discovery process to isolate it. Chiejina et al [10] proposed a solution to evaluate the trust of a node in the network, which ensures that nodes expending their energy in forwarding data and control packets for other nodes are allowed to carry on their activities while the malevolent nodes are isolated from the network. Trust values are computed by direct observations, which are aggregated at different time intervals to provide a historical reputation of the node.…”

It is imperative to address the issue of secure routing in mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs) where the nodes seek for cooperative and trusted behaviour from the peer nodes in the absence of well-established infrastructure and centralized authority. Due to the inherent absence of security considerations in the traditional ad-hoc routing protocols, providing security and reliability in the routing of data packets is a major challenge. This work addresses this issue by proposing a composite trust metric based on the concept of social trust and quality-of-service (QoS) trust. Extended from the ad-hoc on-demand distance vector (AODV) routing protocol, we propose an enhanced trustbased model integrated with an attack-pattern discovery mechanism, which attempts to mitigate the adversaries craving to carry out distinct types of packet-forwarding misbehaviours. We present the detailed mode of operations of three distinct adversary models against which the proposed scheme is evaluated. Simulation results under different network conditions depict that the combination of social and QoS trust components provides significant improvement in packet delivery ratio, routing overhead, and energy consumption compared to an existing trust-based scheme.
