Abstract

Trust in mobile wireless networks introduces new challenges in addition to the traditional notions of Trust for infrastructure networks. Mobile, wireless and dynamic network settings diversify Trust research in multiple ways. Unfortunately, traditional security concepts, such as Public Key Infrastructures, are not accurate to protect sensitive communication in these special network environments. In this work, we focus on Trust establishment and calculation in mobile wireless networks, which includes Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks known as MANETs. We present our idea of TrustRings which is used to calculate Trust-Values for entities in mobile wireless networks. Our model is based on an egocentric network view which is combined with the location and the distance between communicating devices.
