With the expansion of the scope of network applications, many issues need to be solved. Among them, the maximization of utility and the improvement of security have attracted much attention. Many existing attacks mean the network faces security challenges. The concept of trust should be considered to address these security issues. Meanwhile, the utility of the network, including efficiency, profit, welfare, etc., are concerns that should be maximized. Over the past decade, the concepts of game and trust have been introduced to various types of networks. However, there is a lack of research effort on several key points in distributed networks, which are critical to the information transmission of distributed networks, such as expelling malicious nodes quickly and accurately and finding equilibrium between energy assumption and high transmission rate. The purpose of this paper is to give a holistic overview of existing research on trust and game theory in networks. We analyzed that network utility can be maximized in terms of effectiveness, profits, and security. Moreover, a possible research agenda is proposed to promote the application and development of game theory and trust for improving security and maximizing utility.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s20010221","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,1,3]],"date-time":"2020-01-03T03:28:53Z","timestamp":1578022133000},"page":"221","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Towards Security Joint Trust and Game Theory for Maximizing Utility: Challenges and Countermeasures"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"20","author":[{"given":"Libingyi","family":"Huang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Physics and Electronic Information Engineering, Qinghai University for Nationalities, Xining 810007, China"},{"name":"Shanghai Research Center for Wireless Communication, Shanghai 201899, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Guoqing","family":"Jia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Physics and Electronic Information Engineering, Qinghai University for Nationalities, Xining 810007, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9139-2892","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Weidong","family":"Fang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Shanghai Research Center for Wireless Communication, Shanghai 201899, China"},{"name":"Key Laboratory of Wireless Sensor Network &amp; Communication, Shanghai Institute of Micro-System and Information Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Shanghai 201800, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Wei","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Computer Science and Technology, China University of Mining and Technology, Xuzhou 221116, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5084-3351","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Wuxiong","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Shanghai Research Center for Wireless Communication, Shanghai 201899, China"},{"name":"Key Laboratory of Wireless Sensor Network &amp; Communication, Shanghai Institute of Micro-System and Information Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Shanghai 201800, China"},{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Synthetical Automation for Process Industries, Northeastern University, Shenyang 110819, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,12,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"24","DOI":"10.1109\/MCOM.2017.1700212","article-title":"Secure Multimedia Big Data in Trust-Assisted Sensor-Cloud for Smart City","volume":"55","author":"Zhu","year":"2017","journal-title":"IEEE Commun.
