Abstract

Trust and reputation management represents a significant trend in tackling the emerging security problems in computer networks. The basic idea is to let machines rate each other and then use the aggregated ratings to derive trust scores. Homophily i.e., love of the same, is the tendency of individuals to associate and bond with similar others mentioned in the social network, and the authors have discovered its presence, in term of nodes' attributes, in studying trust and reputation behaviors for the P2P oriented next generation of WSN. The simulation studies have confirmed the structural homophily, i.e., the similar way of connecting other nodes, is fostering trust characteristics and connections among peers.
