Sensors, Vol. 24, Pages 2880: An Adaptive Trust Evaluation Model for Detecting Abnormal Nodes in Underwater Acoustic Sensor Networks Sensors doi: 10.3390/s24092880 Authors: Changtao Liu Jun Ye Fanglin An Weili Jiang Underwater acoustic sensor networks have a wide range of applications in both civil and military fields, but the complex and changing underwater environment makes them vulnerable to multiple security threats. Trust mechanisms are effective ways to enhance network security and reliability. In order to improve the accuracy of trust evaluation and the detection rate of abnormal nodes, this paper proposes an adaptive trust evaluation model based on fuzzy logic. This model adopts a variable weight fuzzy comprehensive evaluation algorithm to dynamically adjust the weights of three direct trust indicators to ensure the accuracy of direct trust evaluation. Then, it uses fuzzy closeness to eliminate unreliable recommendation trust and adjusts the weight of recommendation trust through deviation to improve the accuracy of indirect trust. The simulation results show that the model can effectively improve the accuracy of trust evaluation and the detection rate of abnormal nodes. Especially when the link quality is unstable, the success rate of detecting abnormal nodes in this model is improved by more than 10% compared with the existing trust model.
