Three experiments were conducted to find out whether the standard Implicit Association Test (IAT) could be used to distinguish truthful and deceitful witnesses. We anticipated that IAT effects would be greater after lying. Participants were asked to answer questions with incorrect answers (i.e., the lie condition) or correct answers (i.e., the truthful condition). A third group of participants ...

Agents in Multi-Agent Systems depend on interactions with others to achieve their goals. Often, goals of agents conflict with each other, and agents can be unreliable or deceitful. Therefore, trust and reputation are key issues in this domain. As in human societies, software agents must interact with other agents in settings where there is the possibility that they can be exploited. This sugges...

This paper describes a new experimental system, the Automated Deception Analysis Machine (ADAM), that was used to conduct automated, chat-based interviews and perform deception detection of the text-based responses. 108 participants were interviewed by this new chatbot agent and they provided 3,162 chat-based responses. Several new metrics were discovered that highly correlate to deceit. ADAM c...

Wireless Sensor networks are often deployed in open environment, thus the networks can be susceptible to their unexpected physical environment and attacks from some adversaries. In addition, sensor devices are limited in resources and vulnerable to node capture, so even a few malicious adversaries can easily compromise sensor devices and inject forged data into the networks to make the networks...
