Abstract
Wireless Sensor Networks are characterised by a large amount of participating nodes. Considering attackers and malicious elements within such a network poses challenges for the network protocols in operation. Based on concepts from the Organic Computing domain, this paper introduces a novel approach to introduce reliability measures and establish End-to-End trust in WSNs. We evaluate our concepts using simulation by adding nodes which try to attack the system. The results show that these malicious nodes can be quickly isolated with low additional effort.
