Abstract-We propose to combine social trust derived from social networks with quality-of-service (QoS) trust derived from communication networks to obtain a composite trust metric as a basis for evaluating trust of mobile nodes in mobile ad hoc network (MANET) environments. We develop a novel modelbased approach to identify the best protocol setting under which trust bias is minimized, that is, the peer-to-peer subjective trust as a result of executing our distributed trust management protocol is close to ground truth status over a wide range of operational and environment conditions with high resiliency to malicious attacks and misbehaving nodes.
Ing-Ray Chen et al. REF proposed trust as a composite metric like SQTrust, which is the combination of Social trust and QoS trust.
