Trust is defined as the level of confidence in a thing or a person, it is important in Wireless sensor network (WSN) .Traditional trust management developed for WSNs are incapable of satisfying requirements such as resource efficiency and dependability of a trusted system, due to their high overhead and low dependability, most fundamental requirements of any wireless sensor networks (WSN) are resource efficiency and dependability. The election of a malicious node at the cluster head is one of the most significant violation in clustered WSN. In this work, The proposed a Lightweight Cluster Head Election Based on Trust System for clustered Wireless Sensor Network. for WSNs, A lightweight trust evaluating scheme for cooperation between CM (Cluster Member) or between CHs(Cluster Head). Within the cluster, the indirect trust of a CM is evaluated by its CH. Thus, each CM does not need to maintain the feedback from other CMs, which will reduce the communication overhead and eliminate the possibility of bad-mounting attacks by compromised CM and election for cluster head election. CH election is a necessary process in the cluster based networks. Many parameters can consider for electing a cluster head such as trust, location, mobility, energy, throughput etc.
