摘要：Mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs) are susceptible to attacks by malicious nodes that could easily bringdown the whole network. Therefore, it is important to have a reliable mechanism for detecting and isolatingmalicious nodes before they can do any harm to the network. One of the possible mechanisms is by usingtrust-based routing protocols. One of the main requirements of such protocols is to have a cost-effectivetrust determination algorithm. This paper presents the performance analysis of a recently developed trustdetermination algorithm, namely, the neighbor-weight trust determination (NWTD) algorithm. Theperformance of the algorithm is evaluated through simulation using the MANET simulator (MANSim). Thesimulation results demonstrated the reliability and effectiveness of the algorithm in identifying andisolating any maliciously behaving node(s) in a timely manner.
