The invention discloses an identity-based wireless sensor network security trust method. In the method, firstly each node in the network is loaded with a trust management structure; wherein the trust management structure is composed of a secret key management module, a receiving credit module, a storage credit module, a credit calculating module, an application selecting module, a route management module, a decision making module, a credit management module and a monitoring module. On the basis of the trust management structure, a trust communication network is established by broadcasting query node information among nodes, receiving query respond and updating node credit and by identity-based public key password encryption and authentication among nodes, so as to realize safe communication of credit information among nodes. The invention reduces complexity of credit calculation in the wireless sensor network, improves security of communication of the wireless sensor network trust system, solves communication problem of a source node and a destination node under multi-hop condition, and can meet the requirement of large-scale self-organized network application.
