Mobile Grid is a crossbreed technology formed by amalgamation of the two prominent technologies namely mobile technology and grid technology that enable sharing and collaboration of mobile resources cooperatively, transparently, efficiently, reliably and securely. Mobile Grid considers the mobility issues and overcomes the constraints and deficiencies in both the technologies. However, this heterogeneous, dynamic and open mobile grid network is more prone to malicious and selfish nodes inside and outside the network. Hence, a vigorous security mechanism is needed that considers different security threats and pro-vide different levels of security services. Here, we propose one such preventive security service based on Trust Management. The proposed trust management service uses a novel fuzzy lattice approach for trust estimation of the nodes in the network. A node with high trust value is allowed to participate in the network. A malicious node having low trust value is prevented from performing the task. A fuzzy lattice approach can compute incrementally the same intervals in the training data independent of the order of presentation within a short period. Experimental analysis of the fuzzy lattice approach shows that the proposed approach outperforms most of the existing approaches based on fuzzy logic
