Autonomous System (AS) traffic is forwarded by the BGP neighbors. In the route selection, if there are malicious or inactive neighbors, it will affect the network\u2019s performance or even cause the network to crash. Therefore, choosing trusted and safe neighbors is an essential part of BGP security research. In response to such a problem, in this paper we propose a BGP Neighbor Trust Establishment Mechanism based on the Bargaining Game (BNTE-BG). By combining service quality attributes such as bandwidth, packet loss rate, jitter, delay, and price with bargaining game theory, it allows the AS to select trusted neighbors which satisfy the Quality of Service independently. When the trusted neighbors are forwarding data, we draw on the gray correlation algorithm to calculate neighbors\u2019 behavioral trust and detect malicious or inactive BGP neighbors.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/info12030110","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,3,4]],"date-time":"2021-03-04T21:58:07Z","timestamp":1614895087000},"page":"110","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["BGP Neighbor Trust Establishment Mechanism Based on the Bargaining Game"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Peipei","family":"Li","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Computer Electrical and Information, Guangxi University, Nanning 530004, China"},{"name":"Guangxi Colleges and Universities Key Laboratory of Multimedia Communications and Information Processing, Guangxi University, Nanning 530004, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Bin","family":"Lu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Computer Electrical and Information, Guangxi University, Nanning 530004, China"},{"name":"Guangxi Colleges and Universities Key Laboratory of Multimedia Communications and Information Processing, Guangxi University, Nanning 530004, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Daofeng","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Computer Electrical and Information, Guangxi University, Nanning 530004, China"},{"name":"Guangxi Colleges and Universities Key Laboratory of Multimedia Communications and Information Processing, Guangxi University, Nanning 530004, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,3,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Rekhter, Y., Li, T., and Hares, S.
