IPEK: Intelligent Priority-Aware Event-Based Trust with Asymmetric Knowledge for Resilient Vehicular Ad-Hoc Networks
This paper proposes IPEK, an intelligent trust management framework for Vehicular Ad-Hoc Networks that leverages asymmetric knowledge, event severity awareness, and Yager's DST-based fusion to effectively detect strategic attackers who exploit homogeneous trust models, achieving significantly higher recall and lower false positive rates than existing centralized schemes.
