Reputation management and signature delegation: A distributed approach
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we present a novel protocol, called Distributed Signcryption with Verifiable Partial Signature (DiSigncryption) protocol, to allow an agent owner to securely distribute his signing capability among a set of trusted third party hosts (TTPhosts) via a mobile agent. The protocol incorporates three schemes: a novel Distributed Reputation Management scheme, a modified version of the Distributed Signcryption method proposed in [23], and an extended version of the Agent-based Threshold Proxy Signcryption (ATPS) protocol proposed in [2]. The security properties of the proposed protocol are analyzed, and the protocol is compared with the most related work.

متن کاملA Collusion-Resistant Distributed Agent-Based Signature Delegation (CDASD) Protocol for E-Commerce Applications
Mobile agent technology is promising for e-commerce and distributed computing applications due to its properties of mobility and autonomy. One of the most security-sensitive tasks a mobile agent is expected to perform is signing digital signatures on a remote untrustworthy service host that is beyond the control of the agent host. This service host may treat the mobile agents unfairly, i.e. acc...
متن کاملContext-Driven Assessment of Provider Reputation in Composite Provision Scenarios
Service-oriented computing has become the de-facto way of developing distributed applications and, in such systems, an accurate assessment of reputation is essential for selecting between alternative providers. Existing methods typically assess reputation on a combination of direct experiences by the client being provided with a service and third party recommendations, but they exclude from con...
متن کاملEfficient Task Sub-Delegation for Crowdsourcing
Reputation-based approaches allow a crowdsourcing system to identify reliable workers to whom tasks can be delegated. In crowdsourcing systems that can be modeled as multi-agent trust networks consist of resource constrained trustee agents (i.e., workers), workers may need to further sub-delegate tasks to others if they determine that they cannot complete all pending tasks before the stipulated...
متن کاملDistributed Management by Delegation
This paper introduces a novel approach to distributed computing based on delegation-agents, and describes its applications to decentralize network management. Delegation agents are programs that can be dispatched to remote processes, dynamically linked and executed under local or remote control. Unlike scripted agents, delegation agent programs may be written in arbitrary languages, interpreted...
