Abstract
The aim of this research study is to propose an improved role based trust management system for wireless sensor networks. The objective is attained using an interactive artificial bee colony algorithm which is used for path optimization. Also the purpose is to guarantee to provide robust and trustworthiness among the clusters formed in the wireless sensor network. The reputation among the sensor nodes is assured using the trust model. One of the main concerns of WSN, that have attracted research scholars, is the property to guarantee a less amount of security in a limited environment. Trust among the communicative nodes is one of the major issues that have to be given importance in wireless sensor network. A number of research works have concentrated on only Trust Management (TM) techniques without considering their roles. Existing trust management schemes do not provide significant reliability in all environments. In order to overcome these issues, Role Trust (RT) framework is presented, to select role for each nodes representing policies in a distributed authorized environment. RT integrates the features of role-based access control and TM schemes. This feature is particularly applicable for attribute based access control. Role trust management schemes generate rules, identify and assure roles based on the rules generation process and then clusters are identified for each trust model. Along with the trust model, this study focuses on efficient data path with reduced data loss. Hence, this study presents a novel Swarm Intelligence based Role Trust and Reputation Model (SIRTRM) to provide trust and reputation in WSNs. Simulations are carried out in NS2 environment and the results portrays the accuracy, robustness and lightness of the proposed model.
Highlights
WSNs consist of several spatially distributed components that observe and transmit the aggregated data to a position in middle with the help of wireless channels
In this study introduce the Role based Trust Management System (RTRMS) framework for wireless sensor networks
In this study role based trust management system elects cluster head based on roles and remaining nodes in cluster are named as cluster members
Summary
WSNs consist of several spatially distributed components that observe and transmit the aggregated data to a position in middle with the help of wireless channels. Since restricted resource facilities of WSN, it is not an easy task for integrating fundamental security model such as authentication, reliability and key distribution. Since WSN have several interesting science and engineering applications, a number of research works have been carried out to develop efficient security schemes. Most of the WSNs consist of nodes with highly dynamic topology which may results in certain scalability issues. Conventional crypto schemes are insignificant in handling such malicious attacks. Trust and security management schemes have become an attractive research area in WSN (Aivaloglou et al, 2006). It is observed from the literature that certain techniques do not consider the dynamic factors of trust (Shaikh et al, 2009) which results in insignificant performance of dynamic topology
