ABSTRACT: One of the most effective
measurements of intercommunication and collaboration in wireless sensor
networks which leads to provide security is Trust Management. Most popular
decision making systems used to collaborate with a stranger are tackled by two
different existing trust management systems: one is a policy-based approach
which verifies the decision built on logical properties and functionalities;
the other approach is reputation-based approach which verifies the decision
built on physical properties and functionalities of WSN. Proofless
authorization, unavailability, vagueness and more complexity cause decreased
detection rate and spoil the efficacy of the WSN in existing approaches. Some
of the integrated approaches are utilized to improve the significance of the
trust management strategies. In this paper, a Compact Trust Computation and
Management (CTCM) approach is proposed to overcome the limitations of the
existing approaches, also it provides a strong objective security with the
calculability and the available security implications. Finally, the CTCM
approach incorporates the optimum trust score for logical and physical
investigation of the network resources. The simulation based experiment results
show that the CTCM compact trust computation and management approach can
provide an efficient defending mechanism against derailing attacks in WSN.
