Henry Nunoo-Mensah, Kwame Osei Boateng, James Dzisi Gadze, Griffith Selorm Klogo . SoTRMSim: Sociopsychological Trust and Reputation Models Simulator for Wireless Sensor Networks. International Journal of Applied Information Systems. 12, 16 ( October 2018), 1-4. DOI=10.5120/ijais2018451775
The use of trust and reputation models (TRMs) are on the rise due to the increasing complexities of cryptography. The use of cryptography though potent on traditional networks, cannot be supported by the resource constraint wireless sensor network (WSN). Trust evaluations have made use of a number of approaches, such as analytical, bio- and socio-inspired methods, in the design of TRMs. The use of socio-inspired methods for TRM design is given less attention though its a simple and effective method. The paper proposes the first sociopsychological TRM simulator (SoTRMSim). The models implemented in SoTRMSim are the consensusaware and privacy-aware sociopsychological TRMs by Rathore and Nunoo-Mensah respectively. The proposed simulator provides an objective way of simultaneously evaluating sociopsychological TRMs.
