Estimation of Trust in Clustered Mobile Ad hoc Networks

Mobile devices form a self-organizing network constructs a Mobile ad-hoc network (MANET). A network without infrastructure is often described as spontaneous, real-time, and dynamic. MANETs have difficulty establishing trust among nodes because of the temporary cooperation and lack of knowledge in advance. An Inter-cluster recommendation trust concept is introduced based on the trust of each cluster in this paper. Also, a cluster consists of a group of mobile devices present in the network containing a special node, which establishes a trust relationship between clusters and based on the results of previous transactions, clusters are created dynamically. We have done some basic experiments on the models, and The results show that the model can be applied successfully in mobile ad hoc networks since it is dynamic and efficient enough. Researchers can consider this model, which helps them resolve any ambiguity issues with nodes incoming and leaving in spontaneous Ad-hoc environments.
