Abstract :
In this paper, a trust model is proposed to motivate cooperation and assist nodes with decision-making in online data-sharing interactions. Many important factors should be taken into account while initializing trust. Updating trust periodically will make the mechanism more effective and we introduce instant score to measure this periodical reputation. Our proposed model also allows nodes to decide whether to provide service for a specific node.
