The integration of the cloud and Internet of Things (IoT) technology has resulted in a significant rise in futuristic technology that ensures the long-term development of IoT applications, such as intelligent transportation, smart cities, smart healthcare, and other applications. The explosive growth of these technologies has contributed to a significant rise in threats with catastrophic and severe consequences. These consequences affect IoT adoption for both users and industry owners. Trust-based attacks are the primary selected weapon for malicious purposes in the IoT context, either through leveraging established vulnerabilities to act as trusted devices or by utilizing specific features of emerging technologies (i.e., heterogeneity, dynamic nature, and a large number of linked objects). Consequently, developing more efficient trust management techniques for IoT services has become urgent in this community. Trust management is regarded as a viable solution for IoT trust problems. Such a solution has been used in the last few years to improve security, aid decision-making processes, detect suspicious behavior, isolate suspicious objects, and redirect functionality to trusted zones. However, these solutions remain ineffective when dealing with large amounts of data and constantly changing behaviors. As a result, this paper proposes a dynamic trust-related attack detection model for IoT devices and services based on the deep long short-term memory (LSTM) technique. The proposed model aims to identify the untrusted entities in IoT services and isolate untrusted devices. The effectiveness of the proposed model is evaluated using different data samples with different sizes. The experimental results showed that the proposed model obtained a 99.87% and 99.76% accuracy and F-measure, respectively, in the normal situation, without considering trust-related attacks. Furthermore, the model effectively detected trust-related attacks, achieving a 99.28% and 99.28% accuracy and F-measure, respectively.
