A Trust-Based Message Reporting Scheme For VANET

In Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANET), trust establishment among communicating vehicles is important to be built to secure messages' exchange and reliability. In this paper, the proposed scheme presents a categorized decentralized trust management evaluation scheme for nodes in vehicular ad hoc environments. Each node is evaluated individually according to its interactions during event reporting. Based on this evaluation, a node is assigned a category level (according to its trust value) and a confidence measure, which determine the degree of trustworthiness of nodes' generated reports during broadcasting. The scheme integrates role-based trust with experience-based trust, to form a combined trust model, taking into account the history of the driver's interactions. Case studies and evaluation of the protocol, showed early malicious node detection, which leads to an efficient reporting scheme.
