Following this approach, key concepts related to reputation are formal described step by step for wireless sensor networks where sensor nodes maintain reputation for other sensors and use it to evaluate their trustworthiness. By proving some properties of beta reputation system, the beta distribution is founded to fit well to describe reputation system. Also, a case system is developed within this framework for reputation representation, updates and integration. Simulation results show this scheme not only can keep stable reputation but also can prevent the system from some attacks as bad mouthing and reputation cheating.展开更多

However,few have discussed the reputation direct update. In this paper,based on sound statistical theories,a negative binominal distribution method in the reputation direct update for WSNs is proposed. Results show that the proposed method is more suitable and time-saving for the reputation update of the resource constraint WSNs and can improve the computation power efficiency as well.展开更多
