Hierarchical Hybrid Trust Management Scheme in SDN-Enabled VANETs

Algorithm 2

Hybrid trust calculation.
Input DIS, TV, HTthre
Output HT
if vehicle i receives interactive information from vehicle j then
 Use Algorithm 1 to solve the ST and RT of the vehicle
 if Vehicle i is within the coverage of RSU then
  Calculate DCij using equation (8)
  Calculate using equation (9)
  Calculate IT using equation (10)
 else
  IT = 0
 end if
 Calculate HT using equation (11)
end if
if HT ≥ HTthre then
 Confirm that vehicle j is a trusted vehicle
 Continue to receive interactive information from vehicle j
else
 Confirm that vehicle j is a dishonest vehicle
 Discard the interaction request information of the vehicle
end if
Upgrade the trust management information of vehicle j in the LTD of vehicle i
Broadcast the trust management upgrade information of vehicle i
