Reputation based trust management using TCG in Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks (RTA)

Abstract

The Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks (MANET) are more and more important due to their increasing use. At the same time, the Trusted Computing Group (TCG) approach in using TPM based hardware root of trust is increasingly used in mobile devices providing a trustable source of knowledge about software composition of devices. In this paper, we develop a new approach to evaluate trust among peers in an Ad Hoc network, based on the reputation of their software composition.
