Abstract

This paper proposes a fuzzy expert system, called Trustpert, for making misbehavior unattractive in MANETs. The system is based on the CONFIDANT protocol, and it aims to detect and isolate misbehaving nodes in the network, thus making unattractive to deny cooperation. The trust in this model is based on experienced, observed, or reported routing behavior of other nodes. The system is implemented in CLIPS. The experimental results show that based on a fuzzy expert system, the impact of malicious nodes is not significant, which proves the robustness of the proposed model.
