Abstract

No trust tantamounts to no communication in DTN and mobile ad-Hoc networks. In this work we propose a novel encounter-based trust framework based on the principle of homophiliy. We propose 4 trust advisors and analyze their performance using WLAN traces. We find that our filters not only provide meaningful trust but also improve network performance in the presence of selfish nodes.
