A Trust Evaluation Model Based on Resistive Network

Abstract

Many trust evaluation models have been proposed for P2P networks recently. While in these models, nodes usually need to record all nodes’ trust, or the time complexity is high. In our paper, we propose a trust evaluation model based on resistive network. In which, nodes only need to record their neighbors’ trust and the time complexity is lower. The experiments and analysis show that, on the premise of accurate trust this method reduces the time complexity effectively.
