Abstract
Disclosed is a trust management system for decision fusion in a network. The trust management system includes a detection subsystem having a plurality of sensors, and a plurality of channels. Each sensor of the plurality of sensors detects one of an occurrence and a non-occurrence of an event in the network. The trust management system further includes a fusion subsystem communicably coupled to the detection subsystem through the plurality of channels for receiving a decision of the each sensor and iteratively assigning a pre-determined weightage. The fusion subsystem ascertains a summation of respective decisions of the plurality of sensors and compares the weighted summation with a corresponding decision of the each sensor. The fusion subsystem further updates the assigned pre-determined weightage and determines the presence of the each sensor being one of a compromised sensor and a non-compromised sensor. Further disclosed is a method for decision fusion in a network.
