Abstract:
Cooperation in wireless sensor networks to detect the malicious node without any infrastructure is a recent trend in research. The current models need more storage, computation, security tools, and communication requirements. They fail in wireless sensor networks due to limitation of resources. Trust-based approach does not need high-end resource requirement. The proposed agent-based approach eliminates the computations in the sensor nodes with appropriate trust factor. The proposed approach uses an agent-based collaborative concept to ensure the trust in the successive node in the path. The proposed agent-based framework uses reputation of neighboring nodes as part of trust calculation in its successive node. The simulations were presented to calculate the trust of a node.
