An efficient key management system is required to support cryptography. Most key management systems use either pre-installed shared keys or install initial security parameters using out-of-band channels. These methods create an additional burden for engineers who manage the devices in industrial plants. Hence, device deployment in industrial plants becomes a challenging task in order to achieve...

This research investigates trust-building strategies that may influence transactions between individuals and unknown Internet firms, focusing on three influential components that mediate the relationship between online shoppers and online vendors. Results indicate significant direct effects for trust in the Internet infrastructure, susceptibility to the social influence of media, and the presen...

Trust plays a growing role in research on security in open computing systems, including Grid computing. We propose using trust for authorization in such systems. Traditionally, authentication and authorization in computer systems guard only user interfaces, thus providing only a perimeter defense against attacks. We search for an authentication and authorization approach that satisfies the requ...

Increasingly, bioethicists defend informed consent as a safeguard for trust in caretakers and medical institutions.This paper discusses an ‘ideal type’ of that move. What I call the trust-promotion argument for informed consent states:1. Social trust, especially trust in caretakers and medical institutions, is necessary so that, for example,people seek medical advice, comply with it, and partic...

This paper addresses a specific problem that may arise as consequence of the globalization of the markets. This is the incompatibility between local and global standards of trust. The literature highlights the advantage of co-localization for the production of mutual trust. However, the type of trust produced may be informal and indeed largely incompatible with base of trust in open electronic ...

Success in online services cannot promise the success in corresponding mobile services. To understand the mobile service adoption behavior under the context of online service transition, this study, taking mobile payment as an example, from a trust transfer perspective, examines users’ acceptance of mobile payment using the TAM (Technology acceptance model). A field survey with 220 mobile payme...

The conclusion summarizes the key findings presented within each section of the book. identifying the emerging patterns and themes across the conceptual contributions and empirical studies. These are considered in relation to our two initial questions, First, is there a universally applicable model of trust and trust development [etic], or do people from varying cultures understand and enact tr...

The Internet is now being used for commercial, social and educational interactions, which previously relied on direct face-to-face contact in order to establish trust relationships. Thus, there is a need to be able to establish and evaluate trust relationships relying only on electronic interactions over the Internet. A trust framework for Internet applications should incorporate concepts such ...

DyTR is an approach to trust that goes beyond traditional authentication-based techniques, in which the trustworthiness of entities in a system adapts over time based on system events. Using a socio-cognitive model of trust, DyTR provides an adaptive trustassessment methodology that allocates resources dynamically to an initial level of credentials, continually assesses trust, and adaptively al...

This study examines perceptions about trust among people engaged in community-institutional partnerships. Focus groups were conducted with community, health department, and academic representatives from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Prevention Research Centers Program. When asked to describe expectations about working with partners, the main themes identified were skepticism,...
