Smart applications with interconnected intelligent devices for sharing services arise serious security problems to the stability of this IoT complex and heterogeneous environment. Unless security considerations are analyzed and implemented properly in real time then IoT cannot be perceived as a pervasive network for the possible stakeholders. Current state of the art has analyzed trust-based security solutions as additional feature to application layer of the system which can identify and filter out the malicious nodes. In this paper we are proposing holistic trust management with edge computing mechanism to create trustworthy zones comprising different clusters, where Gateway on behalf of clusters will initiate migration of their nodes if falls below the defined Zone trust threshold level. The created zones are self-resilient against any malicious attacks and saves lots processing usage time and energy to address the security issues. By analyzing our proposed algorithm with other contemporary approaches to handle IoT security issues using trust mechanism, this approach is more precise in terms of protecting system against incurring malicious behavior, and also prolong the application operation duration by reducing communication and processing overhead.
