Abstract

In this research paper, blockchain-based trust management model is proposed to enhance trust relationship among beacon nodes and to eradicate malicious nodes in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). This composite trust evaluation involves behavioral-based trust as well as data-based trust. Various metrics such as closeness, honesty, intimacy and frequency of interaction are taken into account to compute behavioral-based trust of beacon nodes. Further, the composite (behavior and data) trust value of each beacon nodes is broadcast to Base Stations (BS) to generate a blockchain of trust values. Subsequently, the management model discards the beacon node with least trust value and that ensures reliability and consistency of localization in WSNs. The simulated results of the proposed algorithm are compared with the existing ones in terms of detection accuracy, False Positive Rate (FPR) and False Negative Rate (FNR) and Average Energy Consumption (AEC).
