A Trusted Social Network Using Hypothetical Mathematical Model and Decision- Based Scheme

Online social networking is expanding gradually in our professional as well as personal life in a variety of natures, beliefs, attitudes, and personalities. During communicating through the networks, the trust plays a very significant role while undertaking the communication process. This article proposes a secure trusted hypothetical mathematical model for ensuring secure communication among devices by computing the individual trust of each node. In addition, a decision making model is integrated with the hypothetical model for further speeding up the real time communication decision within the network. The proposed phenomenon is validated against variety of security threats by considering both ideal and adversarial models. Furthermore, the proposed framework is compared to a baseline approach against various security threats such as system accuracy, DDoS attack, data falsification threat,and number of processed requests. The proposed scheme is verified by simulating over synthesized data-set.
