As a key component of the information sensing and aggregating for big data, cloud computing, and Internet of Things (IoT), the\ninformation security in wireless sensor network (WSN) is critical. Due to constrained resources of sensor node, WSN is becoming a\nvulnerable target to many security attacks. Compared to external attacks, it is more difficult to defend against internal attacks. The\nformer can be defended by using encryption and authentication schemes. However, this is invalid for the latter, which can obtain all\nkeys of the network. The studies have proved that the trust management technology is one of effective approaches for detecting and\ndefending against internal attacks. Hence, it is necessary to investigate and review the attack and defense with trust management. In\nthis paper, the state-of-the-art trust management schemes are deeply investigated for WSN. Moreover, their advantages and\ndisadvantages are symmetrically compared and analyzed in defending against internal attacks. The future directions of trust\nmanagement are further provided. Finally, the conclusions and prospects are given.
