A Simple Trust model for On-Demand Routing in Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks

In a mobile ad-hoc network, nodes cannot rely on any fixed infrastructure for routing purposes. Rather, they have to cooperate to achieve this objective. However, the absence of any trusted third party in such networks may result in nodes deviating from the routing protocol for selfish or malicious reasons. The concept of trusted routing has been promoted to handle the problems selfish and malicious nodes cause to the network. In this paper, we focus on using trust in routing, and show how trust can mitigate against malicious behaviour.
