A new credential routing model based on trust theory

Abstract

Router has acted as more and more important role in the large-scale network. In the meantime, the security of the router become more seriously. In this paper, we propose a new algorithm to decide a credential routing path from the start router to the end one based on the trust theory that considers the trustworthy of link, the cost of link and the trustworthy of router as the critical factors so as to utilize the principle of the grey correlation degree to obtain a credential routing path, instead of weighted mean in existed methods of trust measurement. We guarantee that packet can secure transfer under the credential routing path and identify the remote routers that are subject to attacks.
