摘要

An Mobile Ad-hoc network (MANET) is formed when group of mobile wireless nodes collaborate between them to communicate through wireless links in the absence of the fixed infrastructure and any centralized control. This paper focuses on the design a self-stabilizing clustering algorithm in MANETs. The Topology that we propose is a partitioning based on trust between members of a group. It forms a structure able to adapt dynamically to changes in the topology. Some cryptographic-based schemes have been proposed to secure the clustering process, but they are unable to handle the internal attacks. To defend against insider malicious nodes, trust and reputation management systems should be used .Our solution is based on our efficient trust model and distributed algorithm to clustering network. We present our clustering approach based on trust for applications in the field of security.
