Note: For ease of reference, the names of internal attacks and typical trust management techniques (abbreviations) in this table are arranged in ascending order of their initials. “√” indicates that the trust management scheme can defend against such internal attacks. “+” indicates that the trust management scheme can mitigate the harm of internal attacks or can only detect such internal attacks. “-” indicates that the defense ability of the trust management scheme against the internal attacks is unknown. “×” indicates that the trust management scheme cannot defend against the internal attacks.
