Aggregating Trust Using Triangular Norms in the KeyNote Trust Management System
نویسندگان
چکیده
A Trust Management model that provides a measure of the degree to which a principal is trusted for some action is proposed. At the heart of the model is the notion that triangular norms and conorms provide a natural and consistent interpretation for trust aggregation across delegation chains. It is argued that specifying how trust is aggregated is as important as specifying a degree of trust value in an attribute certificate and, therefore, in stating the degree to which a principal trusts another, the principal should also state how that trust may aggregate across delegation chains. The model is illustrated and has been implemented using a modified, but backwards-compatible, version of the KeyNote Trust Management system.

This memo describes version 2 of the KeyNote trust-management system. It specifies the syntax and semantics of KeyNote ‘assertions’, describes ‘action attribute’ processing, and outlines the application architecture into which a KeyNote implementation can be fit. The KeyNote architecture and language are useful as building blocks for the trust management aspects of a variety of Internet protoco...
متن کاملExperience with the KeyNote Trust Management System: Applications and Future Directions
Access control in distributed systems has been an area of intense research in recent years. One promising approach has been that of trust management, whereby authentication and authorization decisions are combined in a unified framework for evaluating security policies and credentials. In this paper, we report on our experience of the past seven years using the PolicyMaker and the KeyNote trust...

This paper discusses the rationale for designing a simple trust-management system for public-key infrastructures, called KeyNote. The motivating principles are expressiveness, simplicity, and extensibil-ity. We believe that none of the existing public-key infrastructure proposals provide as good a combination of these three factors.

متن کاملSupporting Imprecise Delegation in KeyNote using Similarity Measures
With decentralized authorization comes the challenge of ensuring that when a credential is written, then it precisely captures the delegation that is intended. A request for a particular service may be unexpectedly rejected, despite the requester having credentials for what should be considered a comparable service. This paper considers how techniques that support imprecision in case-based reas...
