Abstract:

In recent years, several trust management frame-works and models have been proposed for the Internet of Things (IoT). Focusing primarily on distributed trust management schemes; testing and validation of these models is still a challenging task. It requires the implementation of the proposed trust model for verification and validation of expected outcomes. Nevertheless, a stand-alone and standard IoT network simulator for testing of distributed trust management scheme is not yet available. In this paper, a .NET-based Distributed Trust Management Simulator for IoT Networks (DTMSim-IoT) is presented which enables the researcher to implement any static/dynamic trust management model to compute the trust value of a node. The trust computation will be calculated based on the direct-observation and trust value is updated after every transaction. Transaction history and logs of each event are maintained which can be viewed and exported as .csv file for future use. In addition to that, the simulator can also draw a graph based on the .csv file. Moreover, the simulator also offers to incorporate the feature of identification and mitigation of the On-Off Attack (OOA) in the IoT domain. Furthermore, after identifying any malicious activity by any node in the networks, the malevolent node is added to the malicious list and disseminated in the network to prevent potential On-Off attacks.

I. Introduction

In recent years, the Internet of Things (IoT) gained tremendous attention in the industry and impacts the international market. Internet of Things (IoT) is the interconnection of heterogeneous devices which in turn will be connected to the Internet, global network, anytime and anywhere, thus providing the availability of information in real-time. The security of IoT has a significant impact on the performance of IoT applications. Trust is an important aspect while talking about secure systems. Trust management provides a behavior-based analysis of entities, using their current behavior and past behavior (recommendation). Trust management offer solutions to issues like identity management, enhanced user privacy and information security.
