摘要：In recent decades Significant expansion and popularity of wireless sensor networks in various applications have attracted the attention of many researchers. The main challenges of WSN for the researchers are Energy and security restrictions. Recently trust as a new, efficient and soft method has been able to provide satisfactory security in WSN. In this study by using a simple method, first each node calculates the trust values of neighbors and according to these values exchanges data with neighbor nodes, then from each cluster, a node whose trust is greater than a threshold value can be candidate for being cluster head. Finally by using fuzzy logic a node with the most trusted neighbors and desirable energy level among the candidate nodes is selected as a cluster head. Simulation results show that proposed system has been able to greatly improve security and prevent untrusted and malicious nodes from becoming the cluster head.
